to thine own SELF be true...

It's pretty much just something you'll need to get your brain to accept.
You can replace self with something shorter, like s, but that's sure to
cause mass confusion for other people who try to read your code.

I, however, find that the self. references are a great benefit to
readability, as it makes the scope of a variable quite easy to tell.  A
lot of my C++ code is littered with `this->' or similar
explicit-scope-description things...
