Incidentally, someone once came up with an fiendishly
clever hack that lets you write things in Python like

   foo(a, b, c) |kmp| bar(x, y, z)

i.e. effectively define your own infix operators. And
it doesn't even require a macro. :-)

(Finding the trick to implementing this is left as an
exercise for the googler.)
