But I think scalar object is not going anywhere in the near future. If you are not convinced, please take a look https://github.com/nikic/scalar_objects/issues/20#issuecomment-569520181. This makes me have a strong feeling about pipe operator greater than before to solve object-style for scalar issue. I hope that someone will take an initiative to fix the old inconsistent and confusing API. Pipe operator+new API is a better solution than no solution at all.
