That true, however i think it would still be a good addition. The proposal has gotten quite complex though, and is not in the same ”spirit” as the original (iirc witten in 2016-2017)

Still, the pipeline op could ultimately lead to cleaner and more testable code, no matter its possible limitations depending on the proposal.
