It isn't actually instantaneous, the functions run in a strict
sequence. I think I saw a way to move functions round in the sequence,
but can't see it now, so might be imagining things.

This can be important, you generally want to run a function before you
use its results, though generally you won't notice the delay.

(As an aside, that does mean that you could set up a delay-line by
deliberately running functions out of sequence)
