Re (tilly) 3: Schwartzian Transform

I have no idea if it is under consideration. Probably not. I suggested it on p5p once to decidedly mixed reviews.

I note that in many other languages similar algorithms are naturally coded as chained method calls, and that winds up reading left to right...

I advocated a list-dereference syntax to fairly positive reviews in p5p, but I doubt anyone will find the tuits to actually implement it. It would allow an entire list to be passed to a method, like map, or to dereference multi-dimensional slices of nested data structures: `@3dSlice= $ref->@==>{qw(a b c)}==>[1..5]; $obj->GetAttribs()==>Stringify()==>Dump();` [download] The choice of token was not solidified. (Or was your `\|>` mentioned in that thread as well?) - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply] [d/l] [select]
