The problem with this is the same problem with having a function called
"add" instead of an operator. There is little gain when you're applying
ONE function, but if you're applying multiple functions you get a
thicket of parentheses. I would rather see this:
some_list @ str.lower @ tokenize @ remove_stopwords
. . .than this:
map(remove_stopwords, map(tokenize, map(str.lower, some_list)))
That said, I don't necessarily think this needs to be added to the
language. Things like pandas already provide this and so much more that
it's unclear whether the gain from adding vectorization on its own would
be worth it.
