Yeah, mea culpa -- but mea culpa with a reason. Method cascades are not going to be in 3. This is intentionally a stop-gap additive feature specifically for 3, since it's so widely used in the dev community for both Swift constructs and Cocoa(touch) initialization. It's super easy-to-implement/add. If considered, it makes a lot of sense in the 3 timeframe. It makes less sense (although it's still useful) after 3.

Definitely additive but it's stuff again that's extremely practical and has a big demand, all the way back to the first moments of open source, and it's pretty much all implemented as private methods now.

I've put in the bug report. I tried implementing it myself, but apparently my compiler fu is not as strong as I hoped (although the errors in my patch seem to come from code I have absolutely nothing to do with -- I was thinking of throwing myself on Dmitri's mercy for that).
