The design of a FLIP-like operation raises some questions.
If it were an operator that acted on functions, it wouldn't retrigger them. You'd have to say:
>> append 'd [a b c]
== [a b c d]
>> run flip append/ [a b c] 'd
== [a b c d]
Alternately, I guess you could use slash to run a GROUP!, but then you'd have a disabling slash and a running slash:
>> /(flip append/) [a b c] 'd
== [a b c d]
If it were instead something along the lines of RUN, where applying the flipped function was implicit, you could write:
>> flip append/ [a b c] 'd
== [a b c d]
I don't think flip/append
being a synonym for /(flip append/)
is a generically useful idea, compared to the likes of not/even?/
for cascading.
But if the weird idea of dialected CHAIN! ever came to pass, FLIP could go into a distinct mode based on receiving a function in the place other functions have refinements...
>> append/
== ~#[frame! [value series]]~
>> flip append/
== ~#[frame! [series value]]~
>> flip:append [a b c] 'd
== [a b c d]
