How's it different from other `pipe` implementations around, e.g. the one from `fp-ts`?

The pipe function of `fp-ts` doesn’t have direct access to methods and properties of the pipe output like Verticalize. You have to wrap them into anonymous functions. Same with promises.

I think this is good, last thing I want is to have too many ways to achieve the same thing.

You can always

   pipe(
     2,
     double,
     x => x.toString()
   )

I love your approach too, it's really more of a pipe operator than a `pipe` function which expects the pipeline to happen on the arguments side.
