After talking with Richard Smith, I will be working on some changes to the
SelfReferenceVisitor.  The HandleExpr was a bit of a hack when first
introduced and should be removed.  The call to the self reference checker
should be moved later into the function so that the initial Expr will be
processed first (this processing will get rid of the ParenListExpr).  This
should clean up the visitor a bit.  Stay tuned for a patch.
