Re: Threading / Pipe Macro (Chris Vine, Mark H Weaver)

[Linus Björnstam]

My macro is was based on the  |> pipeline from f# and on the cut macro. I then 
changed the syntax after seing the pipeline macro in rackjure, which is based 
on clojure's macros. In the beginning I wanted to do destructuring as well to 
allow to destructure lists and passed it as numbered arguments and such. I had 
a syntax-case version that did all that, but I never used that, so I wrote a 
syntax-rules macro instead so that I could bring it with me if I ever switched 
schemes (from chez). I switched to chicken and then guile and brought the macro 
with me. 

If you want to use it, I also provide a right-inserting macro as well: (~>> 
...). The license is more or less "just don't remove this copyright notice from 
the source", so feel free :D
