Consider adding splat and slurp functions

Internals & Design
1

Already several times it was discussed that we might add the splat function to Base that would have the following definition:

splat(f) = x -> f(x...)

then we could also consider adding:

slurp(f) = (x...) -> f(x)

(the need for this has not been reported but it is a natural consequence of the first definition)

The question is if such addition to Base could be considered.

splat is available nowadays, under the proposed name.

slurp is not necessary, instead of slurp(f), just do f ∘ tuple.

Recently added under the name unsplat: Base: add `unsplat(f)`, the semantic inverse of `splat` - Pull Request #62714 - JuliaLang/julia - GitHub
