Using the name CURRY for this macro is _already_ confusing people!

My reading of this post is that someone who is trying to understand
how currying works has encountered SRFI-26 and has been misled by it.
Changing the name to SECTION would help to forestall a steady stream of
posts like this one.
I'd like to be able to teach Scheme-speaking students about real
currying without terminological interference from this otherwise useful
macro.
