I like that. Direct, concise, precise, accurate.

What about some way of naming a context within an expression? For 
example (strawman):

   x doSomething.
   here (x doSomethingElse. x doSomethingWith: here).
   cc (x foo. cc return: 123).
   x blah.

where the rule is kind of

   NAME_CURRENT_NAMESPACE_EXPR := ID LPAREN EXPRSEQ RPAREN

and the ID is bound to the current context in the EXPRSEQ.
