Closing as this is possible as oh PHP 5.4:
(new location)->city('Boston')->state('Massachusetts')->getMap();

Description:
------------
Method chaining is very impressive when done properly. For example:
$location = new location();
$location->city('Boston')->state('Massachusetts')->getMap();
In JavaScript, it is possible to chain from the constructor, like this:
new location.city('Boston').state('Massachusetts').getMap();
Where in PHP, the equivalent would be:
new location()->city('Boston')->state('Massachusetts')->getMap();
Is there a reason why the __construct of a class cannot return itself for
method chaining like its' methods? When I try, I receive a Parse Error.
Thank you!
