<code class="sig">self()</code>
<div class="desc"><p><code>self()</code> yields the model instance currently being visited by the innermost enclosing <code>query</code> loop, as an <code>entity</code> handle. It is how a handler names "the instance this pass is about" — most often to <code>despawn self()</code>, to <code>attach</code>/<code>detach</code> a property <code>on self()</code>, or to pass the current instance to a function. Because it depends on the active query iteration, <code>self()</code> is only meaningful inside a <code>for (…) in query […]</code> loop (or a <code>@Queries</code> handler, which desugars to one). Outside any query it has no instance to refer to.</p></div>
