Issue #5824 has been updated by Dan Bode.
inconclusive :) looks like a pretty even split for/against
for = it's useful syntactic sugar
against = adds more unwarranted complexity to the DSL
The recommended alternative was
class foo requires Yay[boo] {...}
It could be worth seeing if people have more opinions now 2.6 has been out for
a while.

Feature #5824: Puppet language should have self keyword
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5824
Author: Dan Bode
Status: Needs More Information
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: language
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.0
Keywords: Self reference
Branch:
With the introduction of the new relationship syntax, I often find myself doing:
<pre>
class myclass {
Class['myclass']->Resource['sometitle']
}
</pre>
It would be nice to be able to reference myself as follows:
<pre>
class myclass {
Self->Resource['sometitle']
}
</pre>
