I was thinking of 'then' as a token for chaining with 'that' being a keyword variable for what is returned from the first command... 'and' seems more like a combination of two separate commands. For instance, doing 'tinyurl this then email that to [email protected]' to chain and maybe doing 'wiki this and def this' would run both commands separately at the same time and open two tabs. Of course, then we've got to get real clever and do "tinyurl this then email that to john and tweet that and facebook-post that"... I heart the future, though I must say that I'd love to see a 'smart comma' find it's way in to the chaining structure, that would seem natural to me as I also heart run- on sentences.
