This package provides a set of macros for partially applying functions and expressions like in SRFI 26. In addition to the two macros that the Scheme document specifies, two more are added for Common Lisp to accomodate the separate function and value namespaces.
This is best explained by examples (modified from the SRFI 26 document):
lisp
(cut cons (+ a 1) <>) => (lambda (x2) (cons (+ a 1) x2))
(cut list 1 <> 3 <> 5) => (lambda (x2 x4) (list 1 x2 3 x4 5))
(cut list) => (lambda () (list))
(cut list 1 <> 3 <...>) => (lambda (x2 &rest xs) (apply #'list 1 x2 3 xs))
(cut <> a b) => (lambda (f) (funcall f a b))
Special forms like IF can work too, but only when in the function positon and without a rest argument.
lisp
(cut if <> a b) => (lambda (x2) (if x2 a b))
CUT* treats the function argument as a value holding a function.
lisp
(cut* cons (+ a 1) <>) => (lambda (x2) (funcall cons (+ a 1) x2))
(cut* list 1 <> 3 <> 5) => (lambda (x2 x4) (funcall list 1 x2 3 x4 5))
(cut* list) => (lambda () (funcall list))
(cut* list 1 <> 3 <...>) => (lambda (x2 &rest xs) (apply list 1 x2 3 xs))
(cut* <> a b) => (lambda (f) (funcall f a b))
CUTE evaluates arguments of the application only once, except the function argument.
lisp
(cute cons (+ a 1) <>) => (let ((z1 (+ a 1))) (lambda (x2) (cons z1 x2)))
(cute list 1 <> 3 <> 5) => (let ((z1 1) (z2 3) (z3 5)) (lambda (x2 x4) (list z1 x2 z2 x4 z3)))
(cute list) => (lambda () (list))
(cute list 1 <> 3 <...>) => (let ((z1 1) (z2 3)) (lambda (x2 &rest xs) (apply #'list z1 x2 z2 xs)))
(cute <> a b) => (let ((z1 a) (z2 b)) (lambda (f) (funcall f z1 z2)))
CUTE* is like CUTE but treats the function argument as a value as well.
lisp
(cute* cons (+ a 1) <>) => (let ((f1 cons) (z1 (+ a 1))) (lambda (x2) (funcall f1 z1 x2)))
(cute* list 1 <> 3 <> 5) => (let ((f1 list) (z1 1) (z2 3) (z3 5)) (lambda (x2 x4) (funcall f1 z1 x2 z2 x4 z3)))
(cute* list) => (let ((f1 list)) (lambda () (funcall f1)))
(cute* list 1 <> 3 <...>) => (let ((f1 list) (z1 1) (z2 3)) (lambda (x2 &rest xs) (apply f1 z1 x2 z2 xs)))
(cute* <> a b) => (let ((z1 a) (z2 b)) (lambda (f) (funcall f z1 z2)))
Unit tests depend on prove.
