I aggree that the default return is not useless, but I also wanted a
way to set multiple values in one step. It does not address the inital
new/old step that Derek started with but since were talking chained
setters, I wrote up MooseX::MutatorAttributes a while ago to allow me
to do multiple set's in one step and return $self. It works for me but
if any one has any feedback I'd love to hear it.
