[e-lang] why support var patterns for object names?

[Dean Tribble]

I'm currently getting the E-on-Squeak up to the current model, and am
working on the ObjectExpr piece (well, last weekend).  ObjectExprs now have
a pattern as their name in the parse grammars instead of generating FQDN
strings (yay).  In 0.8.37, it can be a def pattern or a var pattern (but not
a bind pattern).  I was wondering why the pattern is allowed to be anything
other than a def pattern.  Said differently,  why is it interesting to
support:

var x {
   to zot() :any { return x }
}

In kernel (or even in full-E)?
