I wasn't aware of this one. Nasty.

This makes me feel I'm really heading towards the right way when I try
to avoid having explicit __PACKAGE__ lying around my code. Besides
making the code look better. ;-)

It's a weird thing no one has came up with a better way to handle this
__PACKAGE__ thing before. Even a constant named PACKAGE (or CLASS or
SELF) would probably be better.
