You probably are thinking of normal functions, and not partially applied ones (which are also just normal functions that we get a special way totally unrelated here). Also I don't think they can reproduce Blammo! Our gnome is now packaging together incoming items into bundles of three, caching them in the interim while the bundle is not complete yet. But if we close the input prematurely, it will acknowledge and produce the incomplete bundle: (>!! b 4) (>!! b 5) (close! b) ; Value: [4 5]
