// in callbacks and other places in which the "this" keyword may
// otherwise not reference the expected scope. Note that the order of
// arguments may be reversed in a future version.

// method:
// a function to be "bound" to thisObject or the name of the method in

// usage:
// dojo.lang.hitch(foo, "bar")(); // runs foo.bar() in the scope of foo
// dojo.lang.hitch(foo, myFunction); // returns a function that runs myFunction in the scope of foo

dojo.lang.curry = function(thisObj, func /* args ... */){
// summary:
// similar to the curry() method found in many functional programming
// environments, this function returns an "argument accumulator"
// function, bound to a particular scope, and "primed" with a variable
// number of arguments. The curry method is unique in that it returns
// a function that may return other "partial" function which can be
// called repeatedly. New functions are returned until the arity of
// the original function is reached, at which point the underlying
// function (func) is called in the scope thisObj with all of the
// accumulated arguments (plus any extras) in positional order.
// examples:
// assuming a function defined like this:
// var foo = {
// bar: function(arg1, arg2, arg3){
// dojo.debug.apply(dojo, arguments);
// }
// };
//
// dojo.lang.curry() can be used most simply in this way:
//
// tmp = dojo.lang.curry(foo, foo.bar, "arg one", "thinger");
// tmp("blah", "this is superfluous");
// // debugs: "arg one thinger blah this is superfluous"
// tmp("blah");
// // debugs: "arg one thinger blah"
// tmp();
// // returns a function exactly like tmp that expects one argument
//
// other intermittent functions could be created until the 3
// positional arguments are filled:
//
// tmp = dojo.lang.curry(foo, foo.bar, "arg one");
// tmp2 = tmp("arg two");
// tmp2("blah blah");
// // debugs: "arg one arg two blah blah"
// tmp2("oy");
// // debugs: "arg one arg two oy"
//
// curry() can also be used to call the function if enough arguments
// are passed in the initial invocation:
//
// dojo.lang.curry(foo, foo.bar, "one", "two", "three", "four");
// // debugs: "one two three four"
// dojo.lang.curry(foo, foo.bar, "one", "two", "three");
// // debugs: "one two three"
// FIXME: the order of func and thisObj should be changed!!!
