I'd<br>contribute a straw man implementation instead of adding to the<br>polemics. The operator used for piping is :>, i.e.<br><br> (1 to: 10) select: [:x | x odd] :> collect: [:x | x factorial]<br><br>which doesn't conflict with any syntactically valid messages, is<br>reasonably suggestive and easy to type as both characters are shifted<br>and are close to each other.
