Subject: Implemented partial function application prototype * function `Apply`
 enables partial supply of the template parameters of a given _function_ **
 unsupplied parameters may be marked by _placeholders_, i.e. approach is
 similar to `std::bind` ** returns a template type taking the remaining,
 unsupplied parameters of the partially applied _function_ * this is a
 prototype in the sense, that neither full application using `Apply` or
 partial application of higher order functions is currently supported ** e.g.
 a `single_type` alias type declaration is required as the variadic template
 `template<typename...>` doesn't directly map to `template<typename>` *
 appropriate test cases document current feature set * the goal is to enable a
 concise defintion of _lambda-like_ expressions for easy specialization of
 e.g. functors provided to higher order functions
