How about
[; pd get self rcv-name(
Not sure I understand this one-- what comes out of [r rcv-name] here?

Dumps itself. Once I wanted to get Pd patches to print themselves, can't remember how it was solved now, but the above would have been quite clear.
I think what Andy means here is the actual text of the patch itself as you would find by looking at the .pd file in a text editor.
e.g. #N canvas 218 94 842 634 10; #X obj 63 84 t a a; #X obj 63 241 spigot; #X obj 102 149 bang; #X obj 102 168 1; #X obj 223 149 route bang; #X obj 183 150 bang; ...
Making 'self' a settable property would open up all kinds of lovely madness!
Cheers,
Chris.
