thanks that works for me! also nice using the slash at the end of the line and saving the line-break.

@nath, yeah, there's no special syntax for a pipeline in a function, the outer pipeline doesn't really need to know if one of the commands is a function instead of something else.

@nath, and yes, backslashes are ugly :( Also, with foo() { ... }, you don't want to have a backslash before the closing }, the syntax requires a newline or a semicolon there.
