[Q] OOP IDL and the self parameter ... [message #12100]

Why do data members of a class have to be referred to as
components of self? Surely the compiler, having run
through CLASS__DEFINE, knows which variables are local
in scope to a method and which are class variables? It
seems like a needless complication to clutter up my
methods with self.classdata1, self.classdata2, etc.

Being relatively new to OOP, is there a method behind
this madness?
