I personally think that the examples show in
https://github.com/js-choi/proposal-smart-pipelines/blob/master/readme.md#core-proposal
help to see what they are trying to solve: nested statements which one needs to
unpack carefully in order to understand what is going on and in which order.

Pipes turns nesting into a linear order of actions.
