#| is to me unreadeable... as #!
what about something composed #=>. I think it reflects quite well
what the "pipe" is doing...

depends... not especially to me since we don't always easily see what
the returned object... and as said previously I don't find | or ! "readable"

first some says it's sign of code smell and second, code highlighting
helps a bit in this area since it highlight the opening or closing
parens. Also, don't forget indentation...

10 line is too much... ;)
actually, I've always find the pipe cool especially in linux but I don't
find it obvious to understand... This said, I wouldn't mind having it in
my image.
What about using #=>. Is it already used (not in my image)? possible ?
