That looks like a case of "There's more than one way to do it". ;)
The first form is definitely consistent with the
method declaration, so there's a lot to be said for using that style
when teaching people to make classes -> send self, receive self.

I think I saw where Guido Van Rossum had referred to something as
"syntactic sugar" in some python.org page. I am not familiar with
sugar as related to syntax. Is it being used as a synonym for "easier
way of doing it"?
