I'd like this new way of defining methods, what do you guys think?
Consider the maverick who insists on
class C:
def me.method(arg):
self.value = arg
Replace "self" with "me".
Yes, I corrected myself one minute after I made the typo.
which should be equivalent to
class C:
def method(me, arg):
me.value = arg
What's the interpreter going to do with our maverick's code?
I don't see why you think this is a problem.
The behavior was unspecified as far as I could tell and I was curious as
to whether "me" would still be allowed as a reference to self. Allowing
alternatives to "self" would maintain backwards compatibility as the use
of self has been a convention and not enforced by the language.
