#<=(source) ⇒ Object

:call-seq:

sym <= trans  -> new_trans
sym <= enum   -> new_enum

Equivalent to sym.to_trans <= trans/enum, except that it uses a more efficient implementation.

def <=(source)
	to_proc <= source
end

#>=(sink) ⇒ Object

:call-seq:

sym >= trans  -> new_trans
sym >= sink   -> new_consumer

Equivalent to sym.to_trans >= trans/sink, except that it uses a more efficient implementation.

:call-seq:

sym.to_trans -> transformer

Allows implicit conversion of Symbol to Transformer. The transformer accepts any objects as input, calls the method given by sym on each and outputs all non-nil results of the method. See Proc#to_trans for details.

example:

collector = [] <= :to_s
collector << 1 << 4 << 9
collector.close # => ["1", "4", "9"]
