Hi everyone, With the addition of Function.identity/1, I would like to propose another function to the Function module: pipe_to/2.
The idea is that instead of: "foo |> String.upcase() |> (&Regex.scan(~r/foo/, &1)).() One can do: "foo |> String.upcase() |> Function.pipe_to(&Regex.scan(~r/foo/, &1)) Or if you import it before: "foo |> String.upcase() |> pipe_to(&Regex.scan(~r/foo/, &1)) While I wouldn't write the "pipe to anonymous" code, I have seen enough code in the wild that uses it that having a more readable (albeit more verbose) approach in the language sounds reasonable to me. The implementation can be inlined by the compiler to avoid the extra dispatch cost. What are your thoughts? If you "pipe to anonymous functions" in your code today, would you prefer to use the new function? Yes/no? Why?
