Only if the first parameter of the function is the sole subject & subsequent parameters are "additional". Which isn't the case in this example: all params are equal subjects.

Right. `chalk.dim()` is probably not the best thing to use as an example for this.

But you can still think about this as merging in two additional pipes into the one you are processing. So 'node' and argsOutput are just very short pipes that you are merging into the flow of current one.

Btw... chalk API feels super weird.
