This doesn’t really seem much neater or more readable to me than:

	let foo = myArray
		.filter({ $0 & 1 == 1 })
		.map({ $0 + 1 })
		.reduce(0, { $0 + $1 })

While they may add a small amount of noise, in the latter case the parenthesis clarifies that each is a method, and what all of its arguments are, and don’t use any custom syntax. Of course this assumes that .reduce() would have an optional label on its closure argument.
