A related thing I was wondering about was the use of 'self' in class
methods as the first parameter. I understand that right now it is
necessary, but is this something that the language itself requires, or
just the way it is implemented now? It seems like a waste of typing to
always have to put self as the first parameter in every class method. Is
there no way for it to be implied?
