But still I'll be not able to explain it, if you will not give a question,
while something may be obvious for me and I forgotten to write it.

For me this solution is quite compete, I described the part that is
important and skipped the rest while it can be 'implemented' in few ways
without any impact on solution.

Only bad implementation is compile line:
  expression.setBar().setBaz();
to:
  expression.setBar();
  expression.setBaz();

while:
  TypeOfExpression $unique = expression;
  $unique.setBar();
  $unique.setBaz();
is ok.

My favorite is:
  expression.setBar().setBaz();
while:
  setBar() : care to return 'this'
