I'm not aware of a way to do so. I'm curious why you'd want to? If you
want to pass "joeBob" to the class you can do so as the parameter of one of
the methods. And my guess is that you already know, but if you want to
refer to a method or property of a class from within the class, you do using
syntax like $this->property_here.
