Or is it getcloaked("tmp"), which has to magically locate something
*by name*? Because calling getcloaked(tmp) would have to call
__getself__. Unless it's a magical construct.
In any case, you make it so that ANY refactoring has to call
getcloaked, just in case there's a __getself__ lurking in the wings.
That's a pretty terrible cost.

Eww. Extremely magical.
And, remind me, what problem(s) is __getself__ solving?
