Hi. Often I see the following pattern to build function "pipelines":

x = f1 . f2 $ fn arg

They use the "$" just before the last function call. I never got much into it: when to use the "." or the "$"? I think today I figured it out:
=> "." is a function composition operator: used to "merge" functions;
=> "$" is a function application operator: used to apply a function to its arguments.

If this reasoning is correct, I think the following should be a more adequate pattern:

x = f1 . f2 . fn $ arg

To merge/compose all functions first and apply the composed function to its parameter(s).
Am I correct on this? Thx
