I implemented such a pre-processor 6+ years ago and I am absolutely sure I was not to first one to reinvent this particular wheel. But now I have grown up and I am happy with self, because sometimes it can be named cls, mcl, obj or anything else, and I take advantage of this fact in my code. self is more readable than a dot and there is no point in making a special case for it.
