Method chaining in multiple lines

[Denis P]

Hi guys,

I am struggling with making my code work in a way that multiple methods called in multiline approach. Does any gopher has an answer is there any solution to this:

```

type MyStuff struct { }

func CreateMyStuff() MyStuff {}

func (s MyStuff) DoJobOne() MyStuff {}

func (s MyStuff) DoJobTwo() MyStuff {}

...

result := CreateMyStuff()

    . DoJobOne() // Error: expected statement, found '.'

    . DoJobTwo()

```

I have an error " expected statement, found '.' ".

Is there any workaround?

Fluent APIs are not very common in Go, but if you want to do this, you
will need to have the dot at the end of the line.

```
result := CreateMyStuff().
DoJobOne().
DoJobTwo()
