## Usage
```javascript
var curry = require( '@stdlib/utils/curry' );
```
#### curry( fcn\[, arity]\[, thisArg] )
Transforms a function into a sequence of functions each accepting a single argument.
```javascript
function add( x, y ) {
return x + y;
}
var fcn = curry( add );
var sum = fcn( 2 )( 3 );
// returns 5
```
By default, `arity` is equal to `fcn.length`. For functions without explicit parameters, provide an `arity` argument.
```javascript
function add() {
return arguments[ 0 ] + arguments[ 1 ];
}
var fcn = curry( add, 2 );
var sum = fcn( 2 )( 3 );
// returns 5
```
To specify the curried function execution context, provide a `thisArg` argument.
<!-- eslint-disable no-restricted-syntax -->
```javascript
var obj = {
'name': 'Ada',
'greet': function greet( word1, word2 ) {
return word1 + ' ' + word2 + ', ' + this.name + '!';
}
};
var fcn = curry( obj.greet, obj );
var str = fcn( 'Hello' )( 'there' );
// returns 'Hello there, Ada!'
```
The function supports providing both an `arity` and execution context.
<!-- eslint-disable no-restricted-syntax -->
```javascript
var obj = {
'name': 'Ada',
'greet': function greet() {
return arguments[ 0 ] + ' ' + arguments[ 1 ] + ', ' + this.name + '!';
}
};
var fcn = curry( obj.greet, 2, obj );
var str = fcn( 'Hello' )( 'there' );
// returns 'Hello there, Ada!'
```

## Notes
- Until return value resolution, each invocation returns a new partially applied curry function.
```javascript
function add( x, y, z ) {
return x + y + z;
}
var fcn = curry( add );
var s0 = fcn( 1 )( 2 )( 3 );
// returns 6
s0 = fcn( -1 )( -2 )( -3 );
// returns -6
s0 = fcn( 10 )( 20 )( 30 );
// returns 60
// Return a partially applied curry function:
var f1 = fcn( 3 );
var s1 = f1( 4 )( 5 );
// returns 12
s1 = f1( 6 )( 7 );
// returns 16
s1 = f1( 8 )( 9 );
// returns 20
// Return a partially applied curry function:
var f2 = fcn( 4 )( 5 );
var s2 = f2( 6 );
// returns 15
s2 = f2( 70 );
// returns 79
s2 = f2( 700 );
// returns 709
