That's a bold statement.  How's that?  The only thing I read here is that 
the very spelling of "self" was objected to.  So, call it _Self, 
_Selfref, or something.  Even _Whatever42 would be better.

Lookup rule changes only for identifiers used in attributes (all of them? 
some of them?) is ... well, not good language design?  I think you used 
the word "overreaching" upthread, correctly so.  And that for wanting to 
avoid the established member-lookup syntax A.B by way of "we won't use 
it"?  That seems a terrible tradeoff.  I don't understand the push for 
that approach, at all.


Ciao,
Michael.
