Emmanuel, master of fluent APIs, has made an important point that we should
keep in mind when designing a sequential call chain. Think twice before
returning "this" and think if there is a more specific type that you can
return that narrows the options based on where you are in the sequence. That
way, you prevent being able to invoke methods out of sequence.

You can now prevent:

new Weld().event()

Returning a more specific type is also self documenting.
