ee.Feature.aside
Calls a function passing this object as the first argument, and returning itself. Convenient e.g. when debugging:
var c = ee.ImageCollection('foo').aside(print)
.filterDate('2001-01-01', '2002-01-01').aside(print, 'In 2001')
.filterBounds(geom).aside(print, 'In region')
.aside(Map.addLayer, {min: 0, max: 142}, 'Filtered')
.select('a', 'b');
Returns the same object, for chaining.

It then returns the original `ComputedObject`, enabling method chaining. This is useful for debugging or applying side effects. For example, the function is called to print the current state of an `ImageCollection`, filter by date, and bounds, add a layer to the map, and still be able to select certain properties.\n"]]
