You can do that either with parentheses, like "smartBorders (tiled ||| Mirror tiled ||| Full)" or with syntactic sugar, use a dollar-prefix-thingie "smartBorders $ tiled ||| Mirror tiled ||| Full". You can chain dollar-prefix-thingies, so that "a $ b $ c $ d ||| e ||| f" == "a (b (c (d ||| e ||| f)))". Boo, close-parentheses.
