I think it’s reasonable to allow passing more arguments to a partial since user-defined functions
and closures allow this without error.
Whether or not the extra arguments are automatically forwarded to the function wrapped by the
partial is debatable.
Consider function foo(int $x, int $y, int $z) {} with a partial defined as
$partial = foo(?, 42).
If the partial is called as $partial(73, 8), should 8 be forwarded to $z
or should the call error as providing too few arguments? Or perhaps should the partial declaration
should error, as it should have been foo(?, 42, ?) or `foo(?, 42, ...?) so the partial
provided all required arguments to foo.
