In poorman: A Poor Man's Dependency Free Recreation of 'dplyr'

#' Forward-pipe operator
#'
#' Pipe an object forward into a function or call expression.
#'
#' @param lhs The result you are piping.
#' @param rhs Where you are piping the result to.
#'
#' @examples
#' # Basic use:
#' iris %>% head
#'
#' # Use with lhs as first argument
#' iris %>% head(10)
#'
#' # Using the dot place-holder
#' "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" %>% gsub("une", "un", .)
#'
#' # When dot is nested, lhs is still placed first:
#' sample(1:10) %>% paste0(LETTERS[.])
#'
#' # This can be avoided:
#' rnorm(100) %>% {c(min(.), mean(.), max(.))} %>% floor
#'
#' # Lambda expressions:
#' iris %>%
#'   {
#'     size <- sample(1:10, size = 1)
#'     rbind(head(., size), tail(., size))
#'   }
#'
#' # renaming in lambdas:
#' iris %>%
#'   {
#'     my_data <- .
#'     size <- sample(1:10, size = 1)
#'     rbind(head(my_data, size), tail(my_data, size))
#'   }
