I've spent a couple of minutes trying to remember if I ever wrote

    self = something

Nope, don't remember that. Which isn't to say it might not be meaningful in
some context I haven't imagined.

Surely it would be no more meaningful to assign to class than it would to
self? Not, you understand, that this means there are no other ambiguties in
there...
