Is there a built-in `also` function that could be used for side-effects while piping?

[austere cliff]

With a definition similar to:

fn also(value: a, side_effect: fn() -> b) -> a {
  side_effect()
  value
}

And used like this:

something 
|> also(fn() { my_side_effect() })
|> something_else()

[crisp ember]

pub fn function.tap(arg: a, effect: fn(a) -> b) -> a

we need @alias 😉 - in elixir ut us called tap so i named it the same when i added it to stdlib 🤷‍♂️

effect would also be a nice name i guess
