Changed subject line. This is far from original topic.

I like @. Function composition is kinda-sorta enough like for product that
I can even make sense of the same operator.
But how would you go about getting a .__matmul__ attribute onto all
functions. For ones you write yourselves, you could decorate them at
definition. What about all the other functions though. I suppose this is
possible:
@compasable
def foo(x):
return x + "foo"
len = composable(len)
newfun = len @ foo @ str.upper
nbar = newfun("bar") # 6
I deliberately didn't decorate str.upper in the example since it shouldn't
matter for a left-associative operator.
