What are pipelines?

Pipelines organize stages in complex (usually) constructs which allows the CCIL systems to achieve real value.

A very simple example example can be found in the Hello World! tutorial:

# echo the simple message
context.echo.pipeline = ECHO 

In the example above, the pipeline is named echo, and given that the context is named default can be executed from the command line, using the following syntax:

$ ccil-app default echo

The runtime context

More complex pipelines require that parameters are passed across stages during their execution.
