   In some scenarios it makes sense to allow chaining.   
   For instance when building the answer to a query where the parts to be   
   included depend on circumstances. As in x.a().b().e().g();   
      
   In other scenarios it just makes things confusing for anyone reading the   
   code, including the writer.   
      
   In other words it depends on design judgement, something that disturbs   
   people who prefer a 300 page book of rules.
