 One may wish to partially apply a function whose parameters are in the "wrong"
 order. All functions defined via sanctuary-def accommodate this by accepting
 "placeholders". A placeholder is an object with a `'@@functional/placeholder'`
-property whose value is `true`. [`R.__`][R.__] is one such object.
