Thanks for the fun read. :)
I think Marc only proposed 'schönfinkel' tongue-in-cheekly, and I only
included it on the list for completeness. That leaves ASCII names
only, so I think the issue is moot. Is there a name you prefer for
what we've called lambda*?
On the note of Unicode names, the single most terse and descriptive
name that's been suggested to me is 🍛 (U+1F35B CURRY AND RICE). But
emoji in Scheme is probably going too far for most!
