Ah. I didn't realize self was a val. I always assumed it was just a delegating method to context.self. Thanks for the tip.
For posterity: I was trying to provide a local val the closure I was using for my Future callback could capture so that if the underlying ActorRef returned by context.self changed it wouldn't cause issues. Since it's already defined as a val that's just unnecessary here. At least that's my understanding.
