Pietro,

I have come across the same desire to know who's calling, and as far as I
have been able to determine, you have to include the id of the sender as an
explicit parameter to achieve this. I have suggested to the swarm team and
to Scott Christley that they change objectiveC to make the caller
automagically available (the same way that 'self' is), but I was given to
understand there would be some problems involved in doing that.

Perhaps if more people were to request the feature ...

Happy New Year!

Sven
