As an aside you show the notation. well and good. But I realize that
there is no executable substitute or ability to return a curried
function
in emacs. Consider these forms.

(+ 2 3 4) ;; executable
(((+ 2) 3) 4)  ;; not executable
(cons '+ (cons 2 (cons 3 (cons 4 nil))))  ;; ditto
(eval  '(+ (cons 2 (cons 3 (cons 4 nil)))))  ;; ditto

Can anyone suggest an executable version of first in terms of curried
addition?

Since Pascal is busy, and David Kastrup is not seen for quite some
time, I hope someone can give a reply to the question of the thread.
