Apply is not required, you can use functions.  I just hate reading
inside out and backwards.  compare:

func3(func2(func1(x))) # Fine if the chain is short, but quickly gets unreadable

x.apply(func1).apply(func2).apply(func3) # More verbose when working
with short chains, but infinitely clearer and more readable when
things start getting complicated, or for less experienced coders

It is alpha software :P  Easily fixed though.
