Oh. Now I understand C<->> rather differently!

The left-to-right flow/assignment viewpoint
had worked for me as an (incorrect) way to
interpret C<->> when used with C<for> et al.

So, I guess I'm suggesting a binary C<->> that
really is a left-to-right flow/assignment op
so that:

  @data
    -> grep { $_ > 0 }
    -> sort { $^b <=> $^a }
    -> part [/foo/, /bar/]
    -> @foo, @bar;

does what you'd expect.
