None at all?
An explicit call, like $?SELF.method () ?

I have never understood what is wrong with this:

method foo ($self: $bar) {
        $self.baz()
}

Then you can easily so whatever you like:

## for our Java inclined friends
method foo ($this: $bar) {
        $this.baz()
}

method foo  
($my_completly_custom_syntax_and_grammar_which_has_nothing_to_do_with_pe 
rl6_anymore: $bar) {
	 
$my_completly_custom_syntax_and_grammar_which_has_nothing_to_do_with_per 
l6_anymore.baz()
}

method foo ($o: $bar) {
        $o.baz()
}

Why does it have to be some sugared syntax when you can just simple  
name it in the parameter list?

Will we end in something like

use
my_completly_custom_syntax_and_grammar_which_has_nothing_to_do_with_per 
l6_anymore;

?


thanks,
