Ahh, OK.  The damned here/context semantic trap again.  It is too late
to revisit, it is a done deed, it was a really good idea to call the
concept context, self, and here, depending on what kind of object you
are using, etc. But "here" suggests container more strongly to my mind
than container does! So, I try never to use it.
