It's slightly off topic, but, when discussing 'Thunks' as a concept, and speaking about 'thunkory' functions might it be useful to note that this is essentially the same concept as partial function application?
Not like, a paragraph or anything, but just a short blurb to point out that these terms are more or less the same thing.
It might help folks connect the dots in the future when researching other topics, and it's a pretty useful concept for organizing all kinds of code, not just for organizing asynchronous code.
