val (|>) : 'a -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b
(** Pipeline (naive implementation) *)

val compose : ('a -> 'b) -> ('b -> 'c) -> 'a -> 'c
(** Composition *)

val (%>) : ('a -> 'b) -> ('b -> 'c) -> 'a -> 'c
(** Alias to [compose] *)

val (%) : ('b -> 'c) -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'c
(** Mathematical composition *)

val lexicographic : ('a -> 'a -> int) -> ('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a -> 'a -> int
(** Lexicographic combination of comparison functions *)

val finally : h:(unit -> unit) -> f:(unit -> 'a) -> 'a
  (** [finally h f] calls [f ()] and returns its result. If it raises, the
      same exception is raised; in {b any} case, [h ()] is called after
      [f ()] terminates. *)
