I'm looking for function that would curry arguments, as opposed to a
partial application.

For instance, it would transform a function that takes A B and C as
parameters into a closure like:

  (lambda (a)
    (lambda (b)
      (lambda (c)
        (funcall f a b c))))

(Meaningless) example:

  (let ((people '(((name . "Bob") (age . 21))
                  ((name . "John") (age . 32))))
        (get (curry #'alist-get)))
    ;; Retrieve all names
    (mapcar (funcall get 'name) people)) ;; => ("Bob" "John")
