It isn't. __PACKAGE__ isn't an object, it's a string. Reblessing an object
changes the class of the object, which affects anything that uses that
object, including the calling code.
I don't know if there is a good way of passing an object of the caller's
type. I'm not even sure there's a situation that requires it, that
shouldn't be designed some other way.
