I completely agree, but Walter and Andrei's argument against it is -
where does it end?  Do we need __PACKAGE__, __MODULE__, __TYPE__,
__TEMPLATE__, etc. etc. etc.?  And I agree with them too - but you
know, it'd be nice to actually get some results on these things once
in a while instead of a bunch of bullshit bikeshed discussions.
Sheesh.
