Well, what's really wanted is what Bert mentioned: a syntax for
compile-time evaluation like VA has (and some other dialects?).  This
is just a cheesy way of simulating that.  Using an instance variable
here wouldn't be the right semantics; you could use a class variable
but then you'd have to worry about nilling it out every time you
modified the method.  So I don't think we have a perfect solution.

But at any rate, you certainly shouldn't use this hack without being
fully aware of why it works and how it might break in the future.
