Functools.partial extension to support specific positional arguments

Problems like these are already trivial to resolve. Take the example from the linked thread:

from functools import partial
p = partial(
    datetime.datetime.strptime,
    partial.PLACEHOLDER,
    "%d %B, %Y"
)

This is easily achieved without even having to import functools:

p = lambda s: datetime.datetime.strptime(s, "%d %B, %Y")
