I don't understand why it is useless. If the wrapper object is no longer 
needed, then getself will return the object which is needed, and the 
wrapper is superfluous and should be garbage collected.

If the wrapper object is needed, then getself will return self, and it 
won't disappear.

Are we talking past each other?
