I like them too (a lot). I find they increase the clarity of my code

I think that when you find you need to use function-chaining, the
functions
(except possibly the rightmost) are often meant to be
properties/fields.
That's why they would look more natural without parentheses.
Nope. I meant _function_ chaining. This comment comes mostly from
using
std.string and std.algorithm, whose functions don't behave as fields.
Both of these libraries show off the power you get from the
flexibility
of function call / property duality. I've also used toggle/flag
setting
methods in this way. It's concise, clean and very understandable.
Interesting. I don't think I've seen this angle yet.
Could you provide code examples, please?
"<p>yes?</p>".replace("<", "<").replace(">", ">");
I'm not seeing the use of function/property duals or the lack of
parentheses. Am I missing it?
(To be clear, I am not looking for an example of function chaining. I'd
like to see why function/property duals are useful for function
chaining.)
Stdout("Hello, World!").newline.newline.newline;
