cut is a keystrokes bloated ill-designed shit.

1) It uses TWO chars <> instead of ONE % and THREE cut instead of ONE again #. It's not forgivable for a mechanism the sole purpose of which is to safe typing.

2) It doesn't support permutation or duplications of arguments. In Clojure you can do #(hax %2 % % %3), with SRFI-26 (cut hax <> <> <>) means (lambda (x y z) (hax x y z)) and you can't do anything else with it.

Conclusion: SRFI-26 is shit.
