Slate does this, but at the library level, without the usual higher- 
order method hacks (but using some convenient macros). I've never  
been a fan of F-Script's syntax change to make this work.

We do have generic "point-free style" adverb methods defined on  
blocks which allow writing in a concatenative style. They were  
inspired by K, although the wording is a bit different.

I don't really have time to go over this here, but most of the code  
is in src/lib/method.slate in the Slate repository (see http:// 
slate.tunes.org/ ).

I suppose http://slate.tunes.org/repos/main/src/lib/method.slate will  
give you the quickest way to look.
