When you define methods, use the full syntax and choose a one-letter
variable instead of self:

	function MyClass.myMethod(O, ...)
		return O:f() + O.n
	end

but call methods with the colon syntax:

	myObject:myMethod(...)

Your proposal is ambiguous syntax:
	a = b
	:method()
is the same as
	a = b:method()
