Yes, good point. I've added one to the docs and tests. Thanks.

I don't think there's significant performance value in that.
Perhaps it could be useful to be able to pre-curry a call and
then pass that code ref around, but you can do that trivially
already: $nextval_fn = sub { call('nextval(regclass)', @_) }; $val = $nextval_fn->($seq1);
or $nextfoo_fn = sub { call('nextval(regclass)', 'foo_seqn') }; $val = $nextfoo_fn->();
