--- Comment #1 from Yegor Kozlov <[email protected]> ---
Unfortunately we cannot change setters to return "this" becasue POI must be
binary-compatible wuth existing code.

If we make this change then the old code would work ONLY if you re-compile it
against the latest build of POI.
If you simply change the return type and replace the POI jar then Java will not
be able to find the new methods and throw NoSuchMethodError.
