The first time I saw the bareword "self" keyword I almost wet myself in
horror, but I would say that $AUTOLOAD is a disaster that should not be
repeated. And that's the way that this $ME thing is headed...

I hate it, it's miserable. Too much hidden trickery and special cases. I
could deluge you with examples but I'd rather not. A sub call would
probably be better.

We have ref(), want(), and other calls to find out context, why not
self() to backtrace package context?
