The bind methods already have defined return values. I don't see any
benefit to breaking backward compatibility for such a minor potential
gain.

The PDOStatement::bindValue and PDOStatement::bindParam methods should
be chainable. Look at my test script below for an example.
Test script:
---------------
// create a new PDO
$dbh = new PDO($dsn, $user, $pass);
// the example SQL statement
$sql = "INSERT INTO db.table (id, firstName, lastName) VALUES(NULL,
:firstName, :lastName)";
$statement = $dbh->prepare($sql);
// current behaviour
$statement->bindValue(':firstName', 'Foo');
$statement->bindValue(':lastName', 'Bar');
// and so on...
$statement->execute();
// what I wish for and what saves a lot of copy & paste, but especially
time
$statement->bindValue(':firstName', 'Foo')
->bindValue(':lastName', 'Bar');
->execute();
