Have the ability to name each step in the pipeline and use that in complex pipelines

Open husamrahman opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Feature Request: Have the ability to name the steps in the pipeline and reference them in complex pipelines.

For example:

Current State: function( x = ~f1) where f1 comes from some previous function Feature Request: function( x = ~someName) where someName would be the name of the step in the pipeline defined by the user

Yes, makes sense. It was something I had considered when initially designing, but chose the 'f1' syntax for more concise writing. However, allowing the user to use the name of the function in the formula does make it more readable.

Will reconsider this choice, evaluate the impact of adding this feature and consider adding in a future release.

Great! You could keep the default naming convention as "f`1" to have backwards compatibility if you do decide to make the change. Fantastic package none the less!
