so maybe it will be usefull to have " smart argument binding "
operator . it will not be used a lot so it can have long name.
maybe

map &triples, map &pairs, @a
map is doing piping right-to-left ;
but operations happens in reverse order to
the order in which we read
it .
"for" doit in 'normal' order but
for @a {
&pairs ;
&triples ;
}
is totally different and
for for @a, &pairs , &triples
looks strange . and we have to adjust "for" count to number of "steps"
..
so maybe
@a ~> &pairs ~> &triples ;
