Creates a function that invokes func with partial arguments prepended to those provided to the new function. This method is like _.bind except it does not alter the this binding.

The _.partial.placeholder value, which defaults to _ in monolithic builds, may be used as a placeholder for partially applied arguments.

Note: This method doesn't set the "length" property of partially applied functions.

var greet = function(greeting, name) {
  return greeting + ' ' + name;
};

var sayHelloTo = _.partial(greet, 'hello');
sayHelloTo('fred');
// => 'hello fred'

// using placeholders
var greetFred = _.partial(greet, _, 'fred');
greetFred('hi');
// => 'hi fred'
