wrap the object?

Why would you want to avoid that? It's controversial syntactic sugar. Enforcing a convention locally seems ideal.

1. Wrapping is more code than using a built-in pipe operator

2. There is a run-time overhead to wrapping

IMO a design goal of programming langauges should be for the most readable code to also be the most performant.

Language features tend to be controversial until they are mainstream.
