I do think the idea of assigning inputs at the call site is important
which is what you've done. It would be nice to use the named parameter
library here if possible to get rid of the leading underscores.

I think this is not needed if you can use the named parameter library.

Should be templated

I don't know what this offers over boost bind and function. I use these
to do a lot of this type of stuff. As long as the number of parameters
are low, its easy to understand and you get some currying for free.

SomeFn f = bind(my_fn(),_1,_2); // its not too difficult to understand
this as x,y

// I'd really like to do
double v = f(x=x,y=y);
