Yep, if you check out my File::Remote module I hijacked them. Thanks
again, Lincoln! :-)
This is exactly the thing we're trying to fix, so we're on the same
page.

Blech! You're right. This would be nasty. But that's not the way it
would work. :-)
Check out the RFC I just submitted on it. Basically, self() would always
return something worth using, just like $ME would have something worth
using. Nothing would be in @_:
sub mysub {
($one, $two) = @_;
print "Got one = $one, two = $two" if self->config('Debug');
}
self->mysub; # main->mysub
print "I'm not feeling my ", self, " today.\n" # hah!
Kinda neat, eh? Check out the RFC, I think you'll like it.
