t be more functional? (it already is in a fairly functional style) Is this still too much extra syntax and overhead to be useful? Would you prefer different function names, different arguments? specific features? (I'm planning on implementing named placeholders and an equivalent of 'tee') Forget about how *useful* this might be to *you*, I'm writing this partially because *I* needed it, and partially to help me become a better programmer.
