Hi Rob,

Well, it's a very nice operator when you start connecting various functions together to form a kind of pipeline.

As the 3.1 draft example shows:

tokenize((normalize-unicode(upper-case($string))),"\s+")

or,

$string=>upper-case()=>normalize-unicode()=>tokenize("\s+")

Which reads better (inside to outside or sequential)? I think the latter.

The required ()s even are kind of mnemonic for pipelines (if you squint a little).

"foo" ===>()===()===()===> "FOO"

Hi,

I was playing with the arrow-operator and found that it doesn’t work on anonymous functions, see example.

('A', 'B', 'C') => function( $sequence) { count( $sequence)}

No idea why you should use a construction like this but I, kind of, expected it to work.

Maybe something for a next release( together with the “apply-function”;-).
