I'm putting together a proposal for a cascade operator like the one in dart. I think it fits the javascript design space quite well. The popularity of method chaining APIs points to this being something the javascript community wants. For example foo     ..a.b = c     ..d() Would be equivalent to foo.a.b = c foo.d() Or more accurately (obj => {     obj.a.b = c     obj.d()     return obj })(foo) The full proposal is here. Any thoughts? Also, how do I go about getting this accepted at stage 0?

For example

    foo
        ..a.b = c
        ..d()

Would be equivalent to

    foo.a.b = c;
    foo.d()

Or more accurately

    (obj => {
        obj.a.b = c;
        obj.d();
        return obj;
    })(foo)

The full proposal is at https://github.com/RedHatter/proposal-cascade-operator. Any thoughts?

Also, how do I go about getting this accepted at stage 0?
