I posted this in google groups but I suppose it is better received here. I added the ability to curry arguments with bound methods into jQuery.proxy. Best part is it only took one more line of code added to core, and it overloaded the signature (so nothing that already uses it will break). You can download either the production or development version from my blog, or read about it here. To facilitate any development effort around this (assuming one came to exist), I have taken the liberty of attaching a git path to make the whole process that much easier ;) enjoy.
