This reminds me of Clojure's threading macros (->, ->>, etc.), and
OCaml's "reverse-application operator": "|>", where x |> f |> g is
equivalent to (g (f x)). The tacking-on of such convenience
functions/syntax across so many functional languages is probably a sign that
many of these languages have it backwards (from a user-friendliness point of
view).
