[New-bugs-announce] [issue1691] feature request: methods that modify instances should return instance

[Peter Farson]

New submission from Peter Farson:

Here's an example:
I'd like to be able to reverse a list for iterating...
for i in range(10).reverse()

This could work if reverse method returned self, but currently it
doesn't return anything.  I think the overhead is slight and worth it.
