Thanks for this little piece of information! Great stuff. You 
wrote

"When building an UFCS chain (in the style of component 
programming), you will often run into situations where a certain 
operation is not UFCS-able. There are multiple obvious ways to 
prepend the string, but neither are very satisfactory"

And this has happened to me many times. The solution "Break the 
UFCS chain and use a local temporary variable" makes me angry, 
because by having to do so all the beauty of chaining is lost.
