Re: A little syntactic sugar on array_* function calls?

It still requires knowing where the array goes. That's legacy which we could sidestep > with the arrow notation. > 3. Admittedly, the pipe is much more powerful. While the argument No. 2. is completely valid, the 1st one is not so. If you remove whitespaces around the |> and also if you alias these functions to map and filter respectively (or if, for instance, some future RFC moves them into a special PHP\Array namespace, which would probably never happen, but it's allowed to dream), it could look like this: ```php $array|>map($fn1, ?)|>filter(?, $fn2); $array->map($fn1)->filter($fn2); ``` A bit longer (due to 2.), but not that much, actually.
