Function chaining and composition with funcitons having more that one argument

[sirex]

It would be nice if these would work:

julia> 1:9 |> filter(isodd)
5-element Array{Int64,1}:
 1
 3
 5
 7
 9

julia> sqrt(16) |> convert(Int)
4

julia> map(convert(Int) ∘ sqrt, [4, 9, 16])
3-element Array{Int64,1}:
 2
 3
 4

Probably there are more functions like this, that could return function with single argument to be used in chaining or composition.

This is not easy to do in all cases, for example split with single argument can't be converted to function.
