Issue #17353 has been reported by fulcanelly (Maks Kompanienko).

Feature #17353: Functional chaining operator
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17353

* Author: fulcanelly (Maks Kompanienko)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
----------------------------------------
Since ruby already moving in that direction(functional), I would like to propose add to it OCaml-like chaining/pipe operator into ruby.
Which would allow such syntax

``` ruby
def handle(requests) = requests
  |> Array.filter { not _1.from.user.banned? }
  |> Array.map { _1 |> main_router.emit }
  |> Array.each &awaiter

```
What exactly happens here ?

Let's look at a bit easier example:

``` ruby
gets.to_i
|> make_stuff
|> format "the number is %d"
|> puts

```
Which is expands exactly to the code below

```ruby
puts(format("the number is %d", make_stuff(gets.to_i)))
```

So what this operator does is nothing but just tricky form of AST building 

Advantages:
 * Increase readability
 * It's more duck type-ish
 
Limitations:
  * cant be overloaded
