Yeah, definitely. My bad. It's definitely not idiomatic. I think was trying to avoid using the anonymous fn syntax, as I thought that was be more off-putting, and partial hadn't occurred to me at the time. In the end, I think I just confused the issue. In retrospect, I should probably have used a totally different example, and avoided map and reduce as they are FP idioms. Live and learn, as they say.
