I'm rather interested in handling a null pipe result:
$user = $request->get('id')
|> $database->fetchUser(...)
?? new GuestUser();
Than handling a null callback (using the RFC example, because I can't even think of a real-world use-case):
$res1 = 5
|> $null_func ?? defaultFunc(...);
To give some more examples of what would be possible without parentheses then:
$containsNotOnlyZero = $someString
|> fn ($str) => str_replace('0', '', $str)
|> strlen(...)
0;
Which is not particularly pretty, but appears to be more useful than either passing a boolean into a single-argument function or piping into a boolean (which would error).
