ideas for a library set to create a full fp runtime

GOAL: To enable users to write functional applications in javascript in node/browser/titanium with 1 require.

CORE Functions necessary:

• compose
• partialLeft
• partialRight
• constantly (K)
• identity (I)
• autoCurry

QUESTIONS:

• do we wrap all of ecmascript as it is or branch away (see https://github.com/loop-recur/lambdajs)
  • things like push are weird and unncessary (where's cons?!)
• how far do we go for core functionality vs helpful functions? We've found getter/setter functions, logging, and a combinator or two to be core, but they're probably not...

IDEAS:

• keep it modular for levels of fp. For instance fmap or mconcat should not be in the base library.
• have an "expose to namespace" feature
