Hmm. My first inclination is to say it should be something like:
macro self { '%MY.frame.arg[0]' }
But suppose you want all .foo to refer to self and not to the current
topic. It would be problematic to have a macro whose name is "".
So you might say something like this:
use invocant "";
Still a bit odd syntactically, however. One is vaguely tempted to make
..foo(1)
mean self.foo(1). But then we'd see methods chock full of *that* even
when it wasn't necessary. Much rather see self.foo(1).

As Annie Oakley almost said, "Anything you can do, I can do meta."
Fortunately, Igority is transitive...
