/**
 * Given a list of functions that accept the same parameters, returns a function
 * that given these arguments returns the result of the first function whose
 * result is not nullish.
 *
 * This is equivalent to chaining together invocations of the passed in
 * functions with the given arguments with nullish coalescing _(`??`)_ operators.
 *
 * @example
 * ```
 * const isAdult   = (age: number) => { if (n >= 18) return 'adult' }
 * const isToddler = (age: number) => { if (n <= 3) return 'toddler' }
 *
 * const ageGroup = nullishChain(isAdult, isToddler, () => 'child')
 *
 * // this is functionally equivalent to:
 * const ageGroup = age => isAdult(age) ?? isToddler(age) ?? 'child'
 *
 * ageGroup(1)  // prints: 'toddler'
 * ageGroup(10) // prints: 'child'
 * ageGroup(50) // prints: 'adult'
 * ```
