Just for historians who might not know, when I did ur-JS in 1995, I made multiple names for the global, in part because event handlers (which prefigured nested functions in general, and added with-like DOM object scoping -- a regret); but also in part because <a target="_self"> was a thing in Netscape 2.

We have `self` in DOM land too, so you can consistently use `self` across Window and Workers.

and `global` in most common server side JS engines

Sounds like they should add `self`.  ;)
