@scott.keck-warren.comI've written SO many string transformations full of temp variables and fn() wrappers. PHP 8.6's partial function application plus the pipe operator gets rid of both.

@scott.keck-warren.comPair the PHP 8.5 pipe operator with PHP 8.6 partial function application and you get some VERY concise code (and I expect Rector to help convert the old stuff).

@scott.keck-warren.comI've handwritten min/max range checks for the current page number more times than I can count. PHP 8.6 adds clamp(), and I might polyfill it in older projects.

@scott.keck-warren.comPHP 8.6 adds a time duration class with helpers for math. It got a quick mention in my video, and I think it'll make a lot of our code easier to read.
