Very cool. I pulled it into the majority of the modules in my codebase and all tests are still passing. The only issue I run into is the formatter goes nuts with parentheses and turns something like this…

name
|> &greet(greeting, &1)
|> String.upcase()
|> (&(&1 <> "...")).()
|> &("..." <> &1)
|> &{:ok, &1}

…into this…

name
|> (&(greet(greeting, &1)
      |> String.upcase()
      |> (&(&1 <> "...")).()
      |> (&(("..." <> &1)
            |> (&{:ok, &1})))))
