I am wholeheartedly in favor of allowing “chaining” of dotted expressions such as

CharBuffer.allocate(26).position(2).put("C").position(25).put("Z”)

this also shows a potential point of critic this proposal will have to find arguments against. This style highly encourages mutation of the object, which is not very functional. Since java8 java tries to be more functional, thus this idea would be totally against this new line.

I leave it to you guys if this is even a valid argument ;)

bye Jochen
