[...] chaining higher order functions often becomes highly
verbose in terms of whitespace, using either unnecessarily
much space vertically or horizontally, subjectively making
the code harder to read.
[...]
What is the proper way to deal with such situations in emacs
lisp?
If it is a truly subjective matter, you can change the subject.
Personally, sometimes i read source code, type ‘M-x zone RET’,
wait a bit, and then reassert control, to see what exactly has
changed (in my memory / understanding / appreciation). I don't
think this is "the proper way", but neither is it così improper.
