I just have to add this, in case someone doubts whether the above form
would be useful to anyone. After having sent the above and returned back
to coding, I _immediately_ discovered a case where the non-restricted
cut comes useful:

(for-each (cut <>) thunks)

Now is that pretty or what? :)

The cut form works not only as a curry, but also as an applier, similar
to the ($) operator in Haskell. In Haskell, (map ($ x) funcs) is a
common idiom that has various uses, and it's nice to be able to do the
same with reasonably little syntactic overhead in Scheme as well.
