[Haskell-cafe] Mission: To take args from a list... generally

[Joel Koerwer]

Thanks!

Don pointed me to Oleg's page too. I *was* (90%) convinced that this
is fundamentally different, but it sure looks similar. Kind of an
inside-out polyvariadic function. Any given f only takes n args, but
myApply doesn't know the value of n. In fact, a polyvariadic f would
cause an infinite loop. At least a stack overflow.

Always nice to know you're in good company though.

Cheers,
Joel
