Me, I prefer the immutable and functional approach:

Yeah, for the record, I never liked the use of the |. With the plain functional syntax, the joke is very clear.
It could be a joke or a leftover from a previous example where the OP used three different things, such as to_upper, to_lower and trim, just to change them at the latest moment. But it might be not: the question of what the result of to_upper(to_lower(to_upper(rng))) is supposed to be is not trivial at all. -- [ Gennaro Prota, C++ developer for hire ] [ resume: available on request ]
