[squeak-dev] access to sender from within invoked method

Is there a way to get a reference to the sender of a message from within a method without explicitly adding a parameter and passing in self?

I believe you can do that with:

thisContext client

I don't know if there is a better way, though...

N.B. within a block you'll need to use thisContext home client to get at the sender of the outer message.
