At least for me,

  thing
    .doThis()
    .thenDoThat()
    .andFinallyThis()

is much more readable than

  andFinallyThis(
    thenDoThat(
      doThis(thing)
    )
  )

Well, nesting is not the only option.

``` thing.doThis() thing.thenDoThat() thing.andFinallyThis()

// or

doThis(thing) thenDoThat(thing) andFinallyThis(thing) ```

		That’s not equivalent.
