Cleanest way to take a[b[c]] to a[b][c]












2












$begingroup$


As indicated in the title I'm looking for the fastest way to transform a[b[c]] into a[b][c], and the natural generalization to an arbitrary chaining of arguments. I'm sure there's got to be a convenient way that I've overlooked.



In my cases a, b, and c can be any expression with any complicated internal structure they like.

    f = Curry[Replace][a_[b_[c_]] :> a[b][c]] also works, so that a[b[c]] // f gives the desired result.
