In your chaining example
```fun makeDir(path: String) = path.let{ File(it) }.also{ it.mkdirs() }```

Wouldn't _apply_ be even better than _also_?

```fun makeDir(path: String) = path.let{ File(it) }.apply{ mkdirs() }```

actually, we don't even need the _let_

```fun makeDir(path: String) = File(path).apply { mkdirs() }```

But it removes the chaining, so it's not a good example anymore.

Good input <@U0T2TA02W>. I agree that's not the best example. If you have a better example where `also` is best used, do share. Thanks!
