  Would this be currying in C++?

    std::function<int(int)> multiplierFunction(int multiplier)
    {
        return [multiplier](int value) { return value * multiplier; };
    }

  The above function returns a function that takes an integral as parameter
and returns it multiplied by the specified multiplier. To better understand
it, it's used eg. like this:

    auto doubler = multiplierFunction(2);
    auto tripler = multiplierFunction(3);
    auto nMultiplier = multiplierFunction(n);

    std::cout << doubler(5); // Will print "10"
    std::cout << tripler(5); // Will print "15"
    std::cout << nMultiplier(5); // Will print the result of 5*n
