.META is more correct at the moment.

Only that I'm thinking of renaming all the meta-ish methods to use
interrogative pronouns:
.META -> .HOW
.SKID -> .WHO
.PKG -> .WHAT
.VAR -> .WHERE
or some such. Not sure what .WHEN or .WHY would mean offhand...
Another possible scheme is to keep .META and have .WHO, .WHAT, etc. default
to .META.WHO, .META.WHAT, etc. (Delegated by Object, presumably.) Not sure
if the added flexibility of allowing override of bare .WHO etc. buys us
anything though.
Also, arguably VAR() is in a different category entirely. In which case
.WHERE might be the full package name, and .WHAT the short name.
