  1. Rename *Aux helper classes to *Curried

    We currently have a few helper classes that have an `Aux` suffix
    for emulating currying type parameters. These helper classes have
    an `apply` method which allows some type parameters of a function
    to be inferred while others need to be specified. @tpolecat has
    nice explanation of this trick here:
    
    http://tpolecat.github.io/2015/07/30/infer.html
    
    Unfortunately the suffix `Aux` is an overloaded term that is most
    prominently used to provide terser syntax for type refinements, e.g.:
    
    type Aux[F[_], A, B] = Coyoneda[F, A] { type Pivot = B }
    
    I'm wondering if we should use `Curried` instead of `Aux` for classes
    that enable type parameter currying. This could make the purpose of
    those classes clearer to those who are unfamiliar with this trick.
