Off the top of my head, I think that "same" could make sense.

My primary vote would still be for "$this" as explained above, but I
could potentially be persuaded
to switch to "this" or "same" as alternatives if the dollar-sign is
too much of a hang-up.


Not a fan of using a variable as a return type. This will cause havoc for Tokenizer based static analysis tooling.
Not a fan of the implicit return either.

Also don't really see the need as there is the static return type already.
