Hi,

I sent this with the old (and wrong manifest), the real signature is 
correct online, and attached again too:

For clarity, in comparing to `self` and `static`…


`self`
:   the return value must be an instance of the same class that sets
this type declaration


`static`
:   the return value must be an instance of the same class that calls
the method with this type declaration


`$this`
:   the return value must be the same instance as the instance that
calls the method with this type declaration


Cheers,
Ben

So a *mutable* fluent style vs. an *immutable* fluent style?

Hi all,

I'm sorry if I'm being naive, or simply put dumb, but the main difference
that we're trying
to achieve with having "$this" (or variations of it) as a valid return type
as opposed to simply
using "self" is to ensure that the underlying code is actually doing a
"return $this" rather
than returning any other valid "self" instance (such as "return new
self();")?
