My editor, Xemacs, also highlights the word "self." I personally find that a bit annoying, and perhaps that is part of the reason I don't appreciate the word. When I write an algorithm, I don't want to see some artifact highlighted, as if it is somehow the most important part of the algorithm. I like seeing keywords highlighted, but I don't want to see "self" highlighted because it is only a convention. Maybe I'm alone on that.
Change your editor such that the highlighting de-emphasizes the word self (by making it closer to the background color or whatever; this is what I do myself), and you should be all set then. -Jacob
