We have the same thing already when chaining methods on value/immutable
objects, like with PSR-7:

$message = $message
    ->withHeader('foo', 'bar')
    ->withAddedHeader('foo', 'baz');


So depending on often that pattern is used, many are probably already used
to seeing "$var = $var   ....", myself included.
