Embedded Python: Add a built-in variable to represent class

Currently coding an embedded python method in ObjectScript class when I want to call a classmethod of the same class I need to use the construction:

iris.cls(__name__).ClassMethod()

Would it be possible to add a built-in variable, e.g. cself, that could be used to refer to classmethods? E.g.:

cself.Classmethod()

this will be more readable, convenient, less typing.
