The problem is that I have too much previous mis-knowledge: I am fluent in both traditional scripting languages (perl, pytho...

Is it some reason why the curry function is limited to binary functions on input? Why not general any-arity to any-arity curry? This code seems to work well:

Let us leave segfaults to hardcore C ...
