It's an idea that within a method call, the object reference would
not be passed as the first argument (or maybe, not *just* as the
first argument), but in a variable named $ME. I was pushing that
envelope a little.

We're trying to sort like this:

	sort  $student{^1}{GPA} <=> $student{^0}{GPA} ),  keys %student;

Within the %student's internals, %student is %ME :-)
