My first question is what does this look like when print() and some_func() have other parameters? In other words, what would this look like?

print('hello', name, some_func('whatsit', another_func('good-bye')), sep=' .-. ')

This idea doesn't solve the general problem well, but I'm not convinced that it needs to; that can be addressed by making partial function application syntax nicer. Although I think it's probably fairly useful anyway.

FWIW, I'd spell it without the (), so it's simply a right-associative binary operator on expressions, (a -> b, a) -> b, rather than magic syntax.

print XYZ some_func XYZ another_func("Hello")
