Simplifying code: suggestions?

Hi,

I am experimenting with a very simple “piping” of functions. The idea is
to facilitate the combination of functions that take in a parameter P,
an input I and output some configuration related data A and the processing
result O. The input will most likely be a container of data (see end of example).

The idea is that I can sequence these operations and have the underlying
"system" automatically collect the As and pass the in/out to the next
function until processing has terminated.

The system is a function that is generated automatically (partial evaluation?).
This is done in partialEvalB. The example below works ok, however it
seems a little complicated.

Can anyone suggest simplifications or ways to make it more manageable?


  def func1a(p:String, v:Boolean): (String, Int) = (p, if (v) 1 else 0)
  def func1b(p:Char, v:Int): (String, Double) = (p.toString, v.toDouble)
  def func1c(p:String, v:Double) : (String, String) = (p, s"p($v)")
  def func1d(p:Char, v:String) : (String, Double) = (p.toString, v.drop(2).dropRight(1).toDouble)
