I hadn't seen that syntax before with CFCs, but that's ok, since I don't
care for it. I think it's sensible enough when you have actual object
hierarchies (calling a method of one object returns another object, within
which you'd call another method perhaps) - you see that quite a bit in MS
stuff, such as ADSI and WMI. But in this case, I think it makes the code
less readable, since "me.setFirstName("Sean")" returns the object "me".
