process.stdin.setRawMode(true) does not return process.stdin?

[ORESoftware]

I have this:

process.stdin.setRawMode(true);

but I cannot use it like so:

process.stdin.setRawMode(true).on('data' fn);

just curious if that is true and why that is. It could just be that the TypeScript typings are wrong.
Anyway, I would expect that process.stdin.setRawMode() would return the same thing as process.stdin.setEncoding().

FWIW, these signatures are documented differently:

https://nodejs.org/api/tty.html#tty_readstream_setrawmode_mode
https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_readable_setencoding_encoding

And .setRawMode() does not return this:

node/lib/tty.js

Lines 69 to 73 in bb9d788

	ReadStream.prototype.setRawMode = function(flag) {
	flag = !!flag;
	this._handle.setRawMode(flag);
	this.isRaw = flag;
	};

yeah it should right, why not. Shouldn't break anybody to return this right?

@ORESoftware Yes, I think this would be okay to add – do you want to open a PR maybe?

[ORESoftware]

sure I can do that, I would also want to update the TypeScript typings for this

I don't think we maintain those but the actual change seems fine to me.
