It's less clear which is the best choice for JS.
I have to say I think Mark is on the better track (not to say "only
right track"). Cascading wants its own special form, e.g., Dave's
mustache-repurposed proposal at
https://blog.mozilla.org/dherman/2011/12/01/now-thats-a-nice-stache/
so one can write cascades without having to be sure the methods involved
follow an unchecked |this|-returning convention.
This frees the set return value pigeon-hole to be what many people
naturally want, from Smalltalk to JS (just citing experience). In the
meeting, I heard |this|-return asserted as a dominant pattern, but I
don't believe it is -- especially not for collection.set() methods.
