Return value of forEach

Currently, `Array.prototype.forEach` returns `undefined`. It would be more
useful if it returns the array itself.
Say I have written some code like this...
```js
const a = [1, 2, 3]
.map(square)
.map(plus1)
.reduce(add);
```
For some reason, I am not getting the expected output. For debugging, I
would
like the print the values after each step. My first initial reaction is to
put a `forEach` step in between and print the values like so...
```js
const a = [1, 2, 3]
.map(square)
.forEach(x => console.log(x))
.map(plus1)
.reduce(add);
```
Unfortunately, this does not work as `forEach` returns `undefined`. I now
have
to comment out all the code below it. Having the _plug and play_ behaviour
for
`forEach` would be very convenient.
