Well, the first example is sending the method *#id:with:* to *Html table.  *The
second example is the equavalent of:
*Html table id: 'label'.*
*Html table with: [foo foo foo].*

The cascading operator (the semicolon ;) causes the next message (#with:) to
be sent to the previous messages (#id:) receiver (in this case, Html table).
