I would be careful not to structure data/logic to accommodate a special syntax.

i.e while using:

  pipe!todo.1!id 
is certainly fancy, writing a function is just as effective and most likely more performant since it doesn't require read de-structuring:

(fetch pipe todo first id)

So I'm suggesting you shape your syntax usage around your data, not your data around your syntax. You can always write a macro to obtain your desired level of brevity.

Shaping syntax around data rather than data around syntax sounds like the move, I'm probably just not used to having that option.
