ASK THIS CALLER FOR THIS SCRIPT doesn't work on WHEN SLOT SIGNALS

I was working on revamping an old library (Canvases library) when I noticed something strange:
So usually

ask (this [caller V]) for ((this [script V])$>) $:>

Reports the current script from the caller context.

But in WHEN SLOT SIGNALS, it reports the menu script.
So instead of:

this is the full script that called it...

It reports:

when slot [ V] signals [ V]
the menu script that called it...

So I’m guessing you want from this, the script that contained the block that contained the slot?

No, I want the caller script. Using this on an

example ::reporter

block should give

((example ::reporter) $>)

And for

report(example ::reporter)

the block will have

({report(example ::reporter)} $>)

.

Which is what I described.

You want the lexical scope of the slot being edited.
But this script is not running when you edit the input slot.

Yeah, I know. I need it for metaprogramming.
