Interesting, but seems like overkill to me personally. I'm ok with @@ and
|> (which already breaks F#'s convention, since @@ would be <| in F#.
What's the reason we went with @@ instead again?). Function composition is
potentially more confusing, and I think keeping it with a consistent
associativity direction (that being the direction of normal function
application from right to left) has value. So I'm personally sort-of ok
with <<, but once you suggest something as beautifully concise as o, I'm
overwhelmed by the convenience factor.
