Make it possible to chain regular functions.
By adding use pipe_trait::*, 9 methods are added to all types:
| identifier | pipe syntax | traditional syntax |
|:-----------------------:|:----------------------:|:-------------------:|
| Pipe::pipe | x.pipe(f) | f(x) |
| Pipe::pipe_ref | x.pipe_ref(f) | f(&x) |
| Pipe::pipe_mut | x.pipe_mut(f) | f(&mut x) |
| Pipe::pipe_as_ref | x.pipe_as_ref(f) | f(x.as_ref()) |
| Pipe::pipe_as_mut | x.pipe_as_mut(f) | f(x.as_mut()) |
| Pipe::pipe_deref | x.pipe_deref(f) | f(&x) |
| Pipe::pipe_deref_mut | x.pipe_deref_mut(f) | f(&mut x) |
| Pipe::pipe_borrow | x.pipe_borrow(f) | f(x.borrow()) |
| Pipe::pipe_borrow_mut | x.pipe_borrow_mut(f) | f(x.borrow_mut()) |
