I dunno, it appears to me that the usefulness of "parent" is at least as
high as "this".
I've also noticed the widespread use of declarations such as
var $classname="MyClassName";
which is a strong hint that there is a set of information about a class that
is needed to be made available in an organized, sensible fashion, built in
so that folks don't have to make up their own schemes.
And, gee, one more step or two (adding the ability to tell the user the
names of the functions, ...) and you have introspection.
