Return of 'this'
Reports methods returning this.
While such a return is valid, it is rarely necessary, and usually indicates that the method is intended to be used as part of a chain of similar method calls (for example, buffer.append("foo").append("bar").append("baz")). Such chains are frowned upon by many coding standards.
