I wonder: If we leave syntax aside for a moment - this suggestion seems
to provide a solution for a quite special case: is this useful more
often than partial application of arbitrary arguments?  Could we instead
provide something that allows partial application of arbitrary
arguments, e.g. one of the arguments in the middle?
