The problem with such a pipeline is that it’s not interactive. Now if you had a REPL that would memoize the steps so that it only ever did one `curl` request, that’d be different and useful.

First,

  curl [address] > /tmp/foo

Then, build up the pipeline starting with:

  cat /tmp/foo |

(And I know this is probably "useless abuse of cat", but whatever.)
