What do you really mean by "curried syntax", do you mean that you can
"add" one argument at a time to a function call?

If so, I don't think that curried syntax is something good. I don't
understand
why "curried" calls couldn't be annotated.

If I for example add an argument to a function and forget to update
all callers, I won't get an error where the call is done, but where the
result of the call is used. I won't errors at the correct location.

Since 99% of my calls are non-curried, Ocaml points me to the incorrect
location in 99% of the cases.

Why can't curried calls be annotated? This would improve error-detection!

And of course, I don't want this misfeature to spread anymore.
