I created a feature request for this while GHC was still on SF, it has
propagated to trac and can be seen here:

Are there any subtle reasons for why something like the following couldn't be allowed?
foo x y z w = ... bar x w = foo x _ _ w
I.e. a more flexible version of partial application. This would be translated too
bar x w = \y z -> foo x y z w
I.e a function which takes the "_" parameters in the same order they were encountered in the function application.
Some other languages allow this, such as Nemerle. Quite handy.
