`Fluent Interface`__
====================

Purpose
-------

To write code that is easy readable just like sentences in a natural
language (like English).

Examples
--------

-  Doctrine2's QueryBuilder works something like that example class
   below
-  PHPUnit uses fluent interfaces to build mock objects
-  Yii Framework: CDbCommand and CActiveRecord use this pattern, too
