I've heard this argument before, but this isn't true.

In shell, f x y z, x y z are all augments to f. Doesn't matter if f takes one argument, all are passed to the function.

With many functional languages this gets very confusing. IE what ie what does `f f x` do? In shell I know for sure.

In the example f f x, it might be easy to parse. But in f x y z, any of x y z might be functions.
