This is hardly unfortunate! The API is carefully designed: object args come first, seq args come last. > Stuart's code is readable because he found a way to structure it all > in terms of functions that put the main object last.

Knowing I was working with seqs, the use of ->> was automatic. The mixing happens when you are doing mixed things.
