Pipes

The >>= operator allows clear chaining of operations like transform and filter, reducing boilerplate compared to manual loops or nested STL calls, as shown in the first example with vectors.

Enables fork and unzip for splitting data streams to multiple destinations, which is difficult with pull-based ranges, demonstrated in the branching pipeline example with graphical representation.

Pipes can serve as output iterators for standard algorithms like std::copy, allowing custom pipelines to replace traditional output iterators without modifying algorithm calls.

Directly reads from input streams and writes to output streams within pipelines, simplifying I/O operations, as seen in the example with std::cin and to_out_stream.
