Variation on Bob's monocle-mustache, using parens instead of braces

monocle-lens.js

// inspired by https://github.com/raganwald/homoiconic/blob/master/2011/11/sans-titre.md#readme
// and by https://groups.google.com/a/dartlang.org/group/misc/browse_thread/thread/611c04100ac17142

// traditional method chaining with combinators:
console.log(range(1, 3)
              .concat(range(4, 6))
              .map(function(x) { return x * x })
              .filter(function(x) { return x % 2 === 0 })
              .reverse());

// method chaining with cascades:
array.(pop(),
       pop(),
       pop());

path.(moveTo(10, 10),
      stroke("red"),
      fill("blue"),
      ellipse(50, 50));

// object initialization with cascades:
this.(foo = 12,
      bar = "hello",
      mumble = false);

// Bob's compound example:
document.query('#myTable').(queryAll('.firstColumn').(style.(background = 'red',
                                                             border = '2px solid black'),
                                                      text = 'first column'),
                            queryAll('.lastColumn').(style.background = 'blue',
                                                     text = 'last column'));

// or perhaps reindented like so:
document.query('#myTable').(
    queryAll('.firstColumn').(
        style.(
            background = 'red',
            border = '2px solid black'),
        text = 'first column'),
    queryAll('.lastColumn').(
        style.background = 'blue',
        text = 'last column'));
