Contributions summary:Nicolás primarily contributed to the implementation and testing of a new function, `thunkify`, within the Ramda library. Their work involved writing the function itself, adding test cases to verify its functionality and behavior with partial arguments. They also modified the library's `index.js` file to make the newly created function accessible and refined the function signature. Furthermore, the user ensured the function has the same arity as the input function and curried the function returned by `thunkify`.
