@Thisvalue and @Thisname

Since I've started wearing a developer hat instead of an administrator hat I've gotten to the point of how did we ever manage without @Thisvalue and @Thisname. Those two @Formulas make it easy for validation, computed for display fields whose only purpose is to make a page more readable among other things. Heck, for those computed for display fields you can even copy/paste the exact same formula all around. For example, you have 2 fields called FirstName and LastName, you then have 2 computed for display fields called dspFirstName and dspLastName. For the computed for display fields they can have the exact same formula of:
@GetField(@RightBack(@ThisName;3))
This will just display the values of the FirstName and LastName fields and not have the OS Style fields look like they can be edited. Simple huh?

While I know this post is kind-of trivial, but it's something I've come to depend on and use in a variety of situations. Now if only we could get some @Formula functions to use
