Personally, I can certainly "deal" with it, but it'll never come naturally
to me. As soon as I see code like this I have to mentally pick it apart and
rewrite it in the more familiar form before I understand what's going on.

Maybe if I needed this frequently I'd learn to fly with it, but I just
don't see the need that often. I see things like f().g() much more often
than f(g()).
