[x3d-public] X3DJSAIL: Desired chaining methods. Modify return value or provide new method.

[Don Brutzman]

your chaining outputs are looking good!  8)

netbeans debug is a little trickier when fully nested like that, am getting used to it.  interesting.

your suggesion below makes good sense, will look at generalizing it as a general rule in next session.  will apply wherever it doesn't interfere with existing SAI interfaces.

just added some exceptions to report when file name null/empty for the toFile* methods.

request for you to consider: perhaps when generating it is not much work to generate an finishing line like

	.toFileJSON("PixelTextureInterpolatorPrototype.json");

instead of

	.toFileJSON(arg[0]);

that will reduce # text edits needed to perform testing.

uploading a new build now, should take about an hour.
