Basically what Collections do in Laravel.

Exactly... similar in Symfony. While converting arrays to collection-object is a suitable option that does work, it would feel much more "native", if there were extension methods for Iterable / Traversable.

Agreed. Like in JS and Java, it would be a lot nicer if the language itself had the chainable methods.

It's chaining without having to vary the return of each function. In JS you cannot call 3.myMethod(), but you could with 3 |> myMethod

It requires parentheses `(3).myMethod()` but you can by monkey patching the Number prototype. Very bad idea, but you absolutely can.

You can just add extra dot: `3..myMethod()`.
