The whole dot-notation for pipelining is semantically flawed en 
relies on knowing what names stand for rather than more universal 
symbols with known interpretations. It has been (ab)used quite a 
bit in OO-libraries for other languages, for chaining, which can 
be rather confusing when you use many libraries.

Dedicated pipeline operators look much better 
("input->process->output"). Add dataflow with multiple paths and 
high level optimization, then you have something.
