+     "Partial application is the process of reducing the arity of a function
+by fixing one or more arguments, thus creating a new function lacking the
+fixed arguments.  The @code{curry} package provides three different ways of
+performing partial function application by fixing arguments from either end of
+the argument list (currying and tail currying) or by fixing multiple named
+arguments (partial application).  This package provides this functionality
+through the @code{%<%}, @code{%-<%}, and @code{%><%} operators which allows
+for a programming style comparable to modern functional languages.  Compared
+to other implementations such a @code{purrr::partial()} the operators in
+@code{curry} composes functions with named arguments, aiding in autocomplete
+etc.")
