I was going to say the same thing. Having both #* and #| is redundant and also a bit confusing, since #| doesn't really feel to be the opposite operation of #* at any context. We should choose one or the other but not both. 
I still like #| (with association from left to right) a bit better, but I rather have #* than nothing.

It would be nice to be able to compose procs like functions in functional programming languages:

    to_camel = :capitalize.to_proc
    add_header = ->val {"Title: " + val}

    format_as_title = add_header << to_camel << :strip

instead of:

    format_as_title = lambda {|val| "Title: " + val.strip.capitalize }


It's pretty easy to implement in pure ruby:

  class Proc
    def << block
      proc { |*args| self.call( block.to_proc.call(*args) ) }
    end
  end
=end
