bind: The 'bind' operator
In atheriel/rrails: Railroad-Oriented Programming, in R

%>>=% (pronounced "bind") is a generic operator intended to match the semantics of >>= in other functional programming languages, such as F# or Haskell. It is intended that the right-hand side will contain a function or block, similar to the pipe operator %>%. Bind is usually employed to apply functions to the contents of possibly-opaque "container" objects. See bind-result or bind-list for examples.

lhs %>>=% rhs

## Default S3 method:
lhs %>>=% rhs

`lhs`	The left-hand side of the operator.
`rhs`	Although not required, it is intended that the right-hand side contain a function or block, evaluated with `.` bound to the value of `lhs`.

By default, it will simply pipe the left-hand side into the function or block on the right-hand side, as with %>%, although this is not recommended – any S3 classes with a "bind" implementation of their own might yield very different results than the default behaviour.
