using the syntax for method calls (as in [[Object-oriented programming]]), by using the [[receiver (object oriented programming)|receiver]] as the first parameter, and the given arguments as the remaining parameters.<ref>http://dlang.org/function.html#pseudo-member</ref> UFCS is particularly useful when function calls are chained.,<ref>http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/ufcs.html</ref> behaving similar to pipes, or various dedicated operators available in functional languages for passing values through an expression. It allows free-functions to fills a role similar to [[extension method]]s in some other languages. Another benefit of the method call syntax is use with 'dot-autocomplete' in IDEs, which use type information to show a list of available functions, dependant on the context. When the programmer starts with an argument, the set of potentially applicable functions is greatly narrowed down, aiding discoverability.
It has been proposed for addition to C++ by [[Bjarne Stroustrup]] and [[Herb Sutter]], to reduce the ambiguous decision between writing free functions and member functions, to simplify the writing of templated code. Many programmers are tempted to write member-functions to get the benefits of the member-function syntax, however this leads to excessive [[Coupling (computer programming)]] between [[Class (computer programming)|classes]].
