Not super related, but R also needs some way to handle lists in the pipe chain. Maybe something like `&>` to apply over all elements (and `1>`, `2>`,..., `N>`, for piping on individual elements), and a collector operator like `]>` (or `1,2-4,N]>` to collect subsets), so that one can do:
> data <- data |>
> split_by(field) &>
> # mutate over all
> mutate(calc=...) 1-5>
> # filter the first 5 elems
> filter(…) &]>
> # control back to parent
> collect() ]>
> # collect all elements and
> # implicit rbind them
> ...
