public class ChainedList<T>
extends java.util.LinkedList<T>

Very similar to a LinkedList, except provides an add method that returns the list itself, allowing you to perform method chaining. A beneficial side effect is that you can add multiple elements directly to a list created with the new operator, without first creating a new variable to hold a reference to the list object. ChainedLists can be used anywhere a LinkedList or List occurs, and are entirely optional. It is possible to write passes for Cetus without using this class, however you will find that your code contains a lot of temporary lists created for the sole purpose of passing them as method arguments.
