/w me private message or whisper to myself, or oneself.

We have /w gm which can be used by a GM to create macros or sheet abilities that whisper to the GM; however, we don't have a method of messaging the initiator of a macro unless a token is highlighted. I suggest adding /w 'ME' as an option, it will send a private message to the person initiating a macro vs @{selected|character_name} which may not always be appropriate either. '/w me' primary usage I would feel would be in various macros that could be used for reminders, building chat menus for players, etc. This would be exceptionally helpful for GM macros that can then be shared will all players, '/w me' would always refer to the player who initiated the macro roll. A GM might use this to create a menu with links to compendium or handouts that can be added by the players to their 'in bar' menu giving them quick access to some of the most commonly reasked questions. It might be used by a player to create a random roll macro that whispers just to themselves. which they won't have to edit if they change their name. it also could simply be used in 'chat' to give players their own reminders. alternatively, or in addition to '/w me' inclusion of @{me} that identifies the player name which could be used in conjunction with /w me. it could also see other possible uses in macros. This would also be helpful to the GM who could use this in place of /w gm in their macros making them universally applicable.
