Function binders in Elisp?

[PT]

For predicates I usually use lambda functions. For example:

  (require 'cl)
  (remove-if (lambda (x) (> x 2))
             '(1 2 3 4))

I'm not a lisp guru, therefore I often wonder if there are standard binder  
functions in emacs lisp like for example bind2nd in C++ STL which  
transforms a binary function into an unary function:

  find_if(L.begin(), L.end(), bind2nd(greater<int>(), 2)) // C++

So that I can write something like this:

  (remove-if (bind-second '< 2)
             '(1 2 3 4))
