Read only, character vector
Valid for: All objects
The self property returns the fully-qualified name of an object, including the parent (or parents) separated by period. This contrasts with the name property which returns just the object name without the parent(s).
Note: The self property is unusual in that it can be referenced for a non-existent object without giving an error. In this case, it returns an empty vector. It can thus be used to test for the existence of a particular object.
