/**
 * Version of the compose function that is more natural to read. Each function
 * consumes the return value of the previous function. It is the equivalent of
 * {@link async.compose} with the arguments reversed.
 *
 * Each function is executed with the `this` binding of the composed function.

 *
 * // Requires lodash (or underscore), express3 and dresende's orm2.
 * // Part of an app, that fetches cats of the logged user.
 * // This example uses `seq` function to avoid overnesting and error
 * // handling clutter.
 * app.get('/cats', function(request, response) {
 *     var User = request.models.User;
