My own two cents: * It's trivial to implement a pipe() function or a Pipe class * A Pipe class is better than both a function and built-in operator, since it can be configured with custom behaviour, e.g. stop or throw on empty payload, or repeat on a collection, or even with parallelism or concurrency * If I had voting rights, I'd vote in favor in a pipe operator :) Olle
