The biggest thing I got out of the discussion Mark linked to is that the cascade pattern is potentially supportable with an operator in a future ES. It seems like if there's a pretty good possibility a cascade operator will be something we can look forward to in ES7, then it'd be redundant to have methods which return `this` -- which frees up mutation methods to return other, potentially meaningful things (true/false for delete, value for set, etc).
