Why is it 'an abuse'? Do you special case any other functions or 
is names.parallel unacceptable as well? Are longer chains ending 
in writeln acceptable or do you insist in putting the whole chain 
inside a parens writeln?

name.reverse.writeln

or

writeln(name.reverse)

or surely that would break your dislike of single UFCS arguments 
so you should stick to:

writeln(reverse(name))

Which is proper yoda speak.
