Nitpick: SQL isn't a metalanguage anymore than the others are. Any language can be used as a metalanguage, so long as you're using it to define another language (many languages nowadays use themselves as their own metalanguage --- C compilers are written in C)

I'm pretty sure I've coded the likes of

With self do
Begin
{code}
End; {With}

before now.

In this case, when you write self.trash(), you are writing code inside the class which defines trash. Suppose you are calling the trash method from a different class? Then you need to write object.trash().
