Babel 7.5 - Hackdot

I'm excited to use the pipeline operator but I was burned when I adopted a library (https://github.com/danprince/zaphod) which used the function bind operator only to find that lost major steam in TC39 process

It really is a bummer... Pipelines look cool and straightforward but the bind operator is much more flexible and seems more adapted to the language's semantics.

With partial application the situation is mitigated somewhat but bind offers other benefits by being a decent primitive to help explain how JS `this` works.

I wonder if there is a way to revive the proposal...
