My point was that it doesn't save much code, especially in comparison to allowing `|>` to be used directly as a function composition operator, which would give you the linearity you could want, as well as adding a whole dimension of expressive power to the language, instead of just allowing a re-ordered way of writing existing syntax. > —Claude > >
