The Elixir pipe operator looks pretty close to the suggested style, but the
argument order is reversed:
another_func('good-bye') |> some_func('whatsit') |> print('hello', name,
sep=' .-. ')
This isn't exactly equivalent to the example though because the result of
each call is passed as the first argument to the next function. I think it
looks nice when it's the right fit, but it's limited to the first argument.
