Currently, extend() and union() don't return a value, so we have to write:

myBounds.extend(myPoint);
myBounds.union(yourBounds);
map.fitBounds(myBounds);

If these functions returned the modified object, we could chain these calls, and write:

map.fitBounds(myBounds.extend(myPoint).union(yourBounds));

Much nicer.

Interesting idea - I've shared your request with the team.

Hey, thanks for considering this.

Of course, the idea could be applied to other places of the API as well, basically to all setter functions without 
return value.

map.set_center(latLng).set_zoom(zoom);
marker.set_icon(foo).set_cursor(bar);
etc.
