chainability is fun

Just a short note to highlight an important, but tangential concept here --
chaining.

$tpl->assign('title','My First Page')->assign('message','Hello World');

Very cool concept. If you haven't already done so, check out jQuery, which
makes extensive use of this concept -- a method returning the calling
object.
