Honestly I would advise against using ==> at the moment.
For one thing it doesn't even work like it is intended.
Each side of it is supposed to act like a separate process.
There are also issues with the syntax that are LTA.
The fact that you have to tell it the left side is actually a list is one
such issue.
It isn't even all that clearer than just using a method call
> %a<column1> .map({.sqrt});

Using ｢.Slip｣ or ｢|｣ prefix works, but is the wrong thing.
You need to tell it that it is a list, so use ｢.List｣ or ｢@(…)｣
> @(%a<column1>) ==> map({.sqrt})
> %a<column1>.List ==> map({.sqrt})
Since a Slip is a type of List, using it works, but for the wrong reasons.
