--- Constructs a function, such that it calls the first function with the passed arguments,
--- the second function with the return of the first, and so on. The return value of the last function is returned
---
--- In short, does the following, if the passed functions are a, b and c: return c(b(a(...)))
---
--- Sometimes less cumbersome to write (a | b | c | d)(args...) than d(c(b(a(args...))))
--- @param self function
