That is what the # distinguishes, in my original suggesting for the previous proposal. Using a different term altogether introduces more ambiguity by raising questions about what other ways the two things differ. With `#Self`, I read that naturally as the compile-time (“#”) version of the thing being compiled (“Self”).</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div>Yep, understood. It's perfectly clear to me but I understand why Chris is concerned about it having potential to confuse people. It is a pretty subtle difference especially since Self and #Self are the same in some contexts. In any case, I would be content to live with any name that wins out.<div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div><div><br class=""></div><div>-tim</div><div><br class=""></div></div></blockquote></div></div></body></html>
