  /* Pipes a value through a list of functions, left to right.

     Type: pipe :: a -> [<functions>] -> <return type of last function>
     Example:
       pipe 2 [

         (x: x * 2)  # 4 * 2 = 8

     The output type of each function has to be the input type
     of the next function, and the last function returns the
     final value.

  ## Warnings

  # the INFO messages without parsing the message string.
  #
  # Usage:
  # {
  #   foo = lib.warn "foo is deprecated" oldFoo;
  # }
  #
  # TODO: figure out a clever way to integrate location information from
  # something like __unsafeGetAttrPos.
