| Summary | 'self seems to be reserved in closures and funcs |
|---|---|
| Description | Neither closures nor functions seem to be able to use 'self as an argument name. This means that USE in R3 cannot handle 'self as expected. |
| Example code |
>> closure [self] [] ** Script error: duplicate variable specified: self ** Where: make closure ** Near: make closure! copy/deep reduce [spec body] >> func [self] [] ** Script error: duplicate variable specified: self ** Where: make func ** Near: make function! copy/deep reduce [spec body] >> use [self] ['self] ** Script error: duplicate variable specified: self ** Where: make use ** Near: make closure! reduce [to block! vars copy/deep body] [] |

Note that 'self is not bound in the code block even if not specified in the spec. The problem is that the spec doesn't allow self as an argument, and this could be a problem for people rolling their own OOP system based on different principles but using the same name, or who just want to use 'self. It's not a problem for those writing OOP code in REBOL style though. |

This could be resolved by having MAKE closure! and MAKE function! not consider the hidden 'self field of their contexts when screening argument words for dups. This would make sense since that field is not used in the argument list when the function is called, so it isn't really a duplicate argument. And it is consistent with the hidden 'self not being bound in the code block. |
