It is interesting that the "of" style is common in Ocaml where the left-to-right style is common. They seem to clash!

I would like to know what it's like to work in a fully left-to-right language, for example, to define `my_floob`:

      let my_crumb |> zing_to_crumb |> crumb_to_glork |> glork_to_floob = my_floob

In addition to Forth, R can do this too:

  x |> zing_to_crumb() |> crumb_to_glork() |> glork_to_floob() -> my_floob
But it is not idiomatic.
