Helper Chaining

[Romanx]

Originally Requested by @Tasteful in #16

It could be useful to chain helper methods together before rendering. If we look at languages such as liquid we chain them together like {{ helper1 arg | helper2 }} with the results of helper1 going into the arguments of helper2.

Handlebars has a similar functionality with helpers by nesting the helper declarations like so: {{ helper1 (helper2 arg) }}

Currently this functionality can be simulated by nesting functions in your helper like so

var helpers = new Helpers()
    .Register<decimal>("FormatCurrencyAndQuote", (context, count) =>
    {
        return Quote(FormatCurrency(count))
    });

string FormatCurrency(decimal value) => count.ToString("C", new CultureInfo("en-GB"));
string Quote(string value) => $"\"{value}\"";

If you think this functionality would be useful please leave as 👍 or ❤️ and comment if you have a preference on synax

I'm for the {{ helper1 arg | helper2 }} syntax

@Romanx does it make sense to create PR for the {{ helper1 arg | helper2 }} syntax or is this project dead and there will be no one to approve? Or are you still undecided on the syntax to use?

@petermicuch Hey there, the project isn't dead but I don't get much time to work on it. I'd happily look at a PR for the feature
