Function composition operator mixup #1267

Description

@axch
def (>>>)(f:(a) -> b, g:(b) -> c) -> (a) -> c given (a, b, c) = \x. g(f(x))

The parser still has a precedence for the >>> operator, so I tried to revive it as above. But when I tried running the result, I got this:

3.0 | (exp >>> sq)
> Type error:Wrong number of arugments provided. Expected 2 but got 3
>
> 3.0 | (exp >>> sq)
> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Why? Because the subexpression in parens parsed as (>>>)(exp, sq), and then the | operator turned it into (>>>)(exp, sq, 3.0). But the error message was not helpful in figuring this out. Do we want a function composition operator, or should we just not bother for now?
