Maybe like this:

     1>
     1> Print = function:curry(fun (Prefix, Term) -> io:format("~s~p~n", 
[Prefix, Term]) end).
     #Fun<function.0.4634292>
     2>
     2> PrintNaked = Print("").
     #Fun<function.0.4634292>
     3> PrintLookee = Print("lookee here: ").
     #Fun<function.0.4634292>
     4>
     4> PrintNaked(queue:new()).
     {[],[]}
     ok
     5>
     5> PrintLookee(queue:new()).
     lookee here: {[],[]}
     ok
