That argument makes no sense. If you're concerned about lines, try:

with (object) { method1(); method2(); method3(); }

If your coding style guide says that you must neccessarily newline after braces and semicolons, then you should question why that rule exists, and why it would not exist for the builder pattern. Incidentally, I like a return this proposal more, because I think it's lower impact (no new keyword, we're already familiar with methods that return themselves, a complete proposal would just enshrine this practice into canon), and looks better. Just saying that 'number of lines' is not a valid argument against.  --Reinier Zwitserloot

You total right, I just doubt if most peoples will use it in line, but I wasn't clear enough.

Pozdrowionka. / Regards. Lasu aka Marek Kozieł
