== Stacking Commands ==
It is possible to have the output of one command be the input of another using square brackets.
The results can be occasionally quite entertaining:
<pre>
pmurray: @mccainize [obamit [canuck [scalia [quote raw]]]]
zoia: pmurray: My friends, Look, zedoia's the 'closest' thing I get to regular human contact at wourk, eh?

(You can <tt>@help</tt> the individual commands to see what each is adding along the way.)
