The return value of toggle() seems more useful than chaining.

if(foo.toggle("purple"))
    alert("now purple");
else
    alert("no longer purple");

This is preferable to me over the following, because the token ("purple")
doesn't have to be duplicated:

foo.toggle("purple");
if(foo.has("purple"))
    ...
