Are these functions used within the codebase? Why are we keeping them around?

These functions are used to curry Z functions. curry4 is applied exactly once: curry4 (Z.lift3).

Sanctuary's
curry*functions were added in late 2016 (#289). In the intervening years, arrow function expressions have become widely supported (#687). Arrow function expressions make manual currying painless, so these functions no longer provide significant value.The primary motive for removing these functions is to reduce the library's surface area. The other reason is that currying a “foreign” function is rarely the only change one should make. Other possible changes include:
Maybe StringtoNullable String);Promise UsertoFuture Error User); andSanctuary's
curry*functions discourage consideration of such potential API improvements./cc @laduke
