memoize seems to fit into functools fairly well, though deprecated not so much. functools is similarly named to itertools, another module that is kind of vague in scope (though functools is much more vague). partial would make just as much sense in functools as in functional.

Couldn't we merge functools and functional into just one (user- visible) module? The distinction between what goes into one vs the
other is exceedingly subtle and poor users will be guessing as to
what's where. If we need a mixed module with something in C and
something in Python, we can do it the usual way, func.py wrapping
_func.pyd (or .so or whatever)...
