I still can't catch why people raise and reply to this really nonsense thread
("self" vs. "dot" or "this" or "pumpkin" or whatever)? Just go and design +
develope your own language... This is more worse example, if somebody like
use a dot, instead "self":

     .__.foo = .o
     .__.__doc__ = .__.foo.__doc__

This is more like Morse language...

bo at oberon:(~) morse -s '.__.foo'
 .-.-.-,
 .-.-.-,
 ..-.,

What we will do if some Perl-hooked folk starts bite us "Use "->" instead
 ".", and use @$% symbols with variables":

   .$__->$foo = .$o
   .$__->$__doc__ = .$__->$foo->$__doc__

Damn!..
