I kinda liked it actually. It's a linear sequence of simple operations, and there is an explicit connection between each successive operation (i.e. subsequent operatons are performed on the return value of the last operation). That's what I personally love about method chaining anyhow.. Functional composition with a structure that's not completely ad hoc is kinda nice.
