Implementation of the Thrush combinator

The Thrush combinator is defined as @math{Txy = yx}.
The Clojure macros @code{->} and @code{->>} (thread left/right) are
popular Thrush-like implementations which result in a familiar
pipeline-like style processing.
This allows re-ordering applications in a way that humans actually
think about them: left-to-right, not inside-out. Here's an example:
@example
sum( filter( get-values( $foo ), predicate() ) ).
@end example
This would be better represented as a pipeline, as is common in
shell:
@example
get-values foo | filter predicate | sum
@end example
which we might express using @code{f:thrush} as
@example
f:thrush( get-values( $foo ),
filter( predicate() ),
sum() )
@end example
assuming that @code{filter} and @code{sum} above return dynamic
function references.
Above, @code{f:thrush} is equivalent to Clojure's @code{->>}; this
is aliased to @code{f:thrushr} for clarity, if you'd prefer to use
that. We also have @code{thrushl}, which is like Clojure's
@code{->}, in that it maps the return value of a function to the
@emph{first} parameter of the function following
it. @code{f:thrush} is an alias of @code{f:thrushr} (rather than
@code{f:thrushl}) because it is a natural fit with partial
application (especially currying).
OOP does similar using objects and method chaining:
@example
get-values( 'foo' )
.filter( predicate() )
.sum();
@end example
Indeed, the syntax @code{A.B(C)} is just syntactic sugar for
applying @code{B} within the context of @code{A}—@code{B(A,C)}—which
can be done using @code{f:thrushl}.

<!--
Given a @var{list} of the form @code{(value, f1, f2, ...)}, return
the result @code{...(f2(f1(value)))}
If @var{list} consists only of @code{value}, simply return
@code{value}. Any number of functions may be provided in @var{list}
to form a pipeline; the result of the final application will be
returned.
All functions @emph{must} be unary; partial application should be
used to provide beginning arguments. For example, this would yield
the value @code{5}:
@example
<sequence select="f:thrush( 5, f:partial( f:add(), 4 ) )" />
@end example
See the @code{apply-gen} stylesheet for auto-generating curried
functions to simplify the above partial application.
