Hello,

Object get pointer(Object current)->

is synonymous to Self,

and likewise it will point to nothing if the current object is not bound to a 
variable.

I think this is a strong sign that in object based design,
pointers are very rarely needed, if at all,
and that this kind of generic code (implicit dependency on data source)
is probably a bad idea.

you can have some generic code to construct an object path, of course,
but I think the variable factor should be a parameter or a value derived from 
local code.
