Thanks! But words with dots vs. Pipes dont work that way.

All functions, user level or builtins (written in Go) (or generic methods that dispatch on the Kind of first arg) have exactly the same calling conventions/rules. Dot vs pipe is a matter of evaluation priority, that works the same on all of them.

In fact there are more word types in that "game", words, dotwords, opwords and pipewords :) look here for more: https://ryelang.org/meet_rye/specifics/opwords/
