Building pipes around the fortress to move water and magma safely ( hopefully ) would open up many new options and designs for players. Magma pipes would also vent invigorating steam occasionally.
Also, in my opinion, dwarfs should be able to move through pipe sections, as the pipes will be suspended from the ceiling, dug into the walls or even made into a part of the floor, looking very cool when covered with a grate.
The dwarfs also most certainly would really like to see glass pipes from rivers to allow fish to swim around the fort. ( Some would propably enjoy the fish heading to the chasm end of the pipe... )
