Sure, I'm not claiming to have originated the idea of using _ or some other placeholder to return partially applied functions. Lots of languages have some kind of shorthand syntax for this. I just hadn't seen it done in Python before.

Coconut looks cool btw! I'll give it a closer look soon.

Sorry, I should have worded my comment differently, I didn't mean to sound accusatory or dismissive.
