I agree with other voices in this thread that in general, returning
'this' rather is an anti pattern.
The evidence I've brought to this discussion shows that the most widely used
and depended upon libraries heavily favor the pattern.
That's not necessarily a contradiction. ;)
That might seem a little bit mean. Let me help :-).
If we had "fluent syntax", say Dave's

variant, all along, would |this|-return have been developed as a
pattern? Hard to know but the odds arguably go down. They don't go up.
A cascade syntax would help avoid the pigeon-hole problem face by
setters: RHS value, like assignment? |this| for chaining? If that could
be an unnecessary dilemma, we could spend our time on other things.
But we don't have cascade syntax in ES6. We are adding Map/Set/WeakMap.
So back to the dilemma.
