My proposal in the PR is:

julia> show_off(x, y) = (@show x y; nothing)
show_off (generic function with 1 method)

julia> show_off(1, 2)
x = 1
y = 2

julia> (1, 2) |> show_off
ERROR: MethodError: `show_off` has no method matching 
show_off(::Tuple{Int64,Int
64})
Closest candidates are:
  show_off(::Any, ::Any)
 in |> at operators.jl:198
 in eval at boot.jl:263

julia> Base.|>(xs::Tuple, f) = f(xs...)
|> (generic function with 7 methods)

julia> (1, 2) |> show_off
x = 1
y = 2

Note: splat *...* is slow, type inference is broken don't use this in 
performance critical code. Since this is I/O it's ok I guess. Since |> may 
be deprecated, in the future there also may be a package that allows to do 
this and extend the functionality beyond, for now you have to define that 
method yourself, if you decide t use it you can put the method definition 
in you ~/.juliarc.jl configuration file.
