 When evaluating a pipe, the left-hand side is fully evaluated first, then the right-hand side, then the right-hand side is invoked using the left-hand side.  That is, evaluation is strictly left-to-right. When evaluating a pipe, the left-hand side is fully evaluated first, then the right-hand side, then the right-hand side is invoked using the left-hand side.  That is, evaluation is strictly left-to-right.
