Yes, please! > For the fluent method example above, many projects will use a @return $this > annotation, rather than @return static. In my own code, I usually use `self` to mean “return the same instance.” While I know that, in practice, the use of `self` is identical to using the class name as the return type, it seems natural to designate as practice (among my team) that `self` always means itself and should never refer to an instance with different identity. -Ben
