A function applied to (some of) its arguments. If it is
not applied to all its argument then it is a "partial
application". Application is usually written in the form
f(x) but some languages such as command-line interpreters and
many functional languages use juxtaposition: f x. Lisp
places the parentheses around the whole application: (f x).
