Both variants use 'itself' but only one returns 'itself', so I would regard that prefix as not distinguishing enough. You'd need something like 'withThen' or 'withReturning' to help distinguish between the two. The problem with 'withReturning' is that it is longer (character-wise) than 'with(true)' or just adding 'return it' or 'it' to the end of the closure - not that numbers of characters alone should be the most important metric. Cheers, Paul.
