ee.String.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.

Usage	Returns
`String. aside (func, var_args)`	ComputedObject

Argument	Type	Details
this: `computedobject`	ComputedObject	The ComputedObject instance.
`func`	Function	The function to call.
`var_args`	VarArgs<Object>	Any extra arguments to pass to the function.
