> When calling a function in a dictionary as if it were a method, the current environment is not changed to the dictionary. This is so you can have functions that refer to the current environment. If the current environment were changed you could not access the one in place where the function was called.

Yeah, I "know" that but I usually forget because I don't typically use environments directly. Most of the time I'm using my class, AdhocClass, which does automatically push the environment. 

This will actually go into the function in the event, and is more like my real code:

e = (f: #{ "throwing error".postln; 1.blorg }).know_(true);
f = AdhocClass({ ~f = #{ ~event.f } }).put(\event, e);
f.f
