New task #580: Simplify base_comp exception logic
               Right now the base_comp always changes to a called component
               except when: 

               * a component call is made to a component object 

               * a component call is made to SELF:x or PARENT:x or
               REQUEST:x 

               * a component call is made to a subcomponent (<%def>) 

               I would like to eliminate the component object and REQUEST:
               exceptions. 

               The component object exception is completely arbitrary, and
               I've seen several folks get bitten by this when they
               innocuously change from using a component path to a
               component object for performance or other legitimate
               reasons. 

               The REQUEST: exception is inconsistent with other method
               calls; the base_comp should change to the request component
               in this case. 

               This would mean base_comp would change to the called
               component except when: 

               * a component call is made to SELF:x or PARENT:x 

               * a component call is made to a subcomponent (<%def>) 

               which are both perfectly reasonable exceptions. If you want
               to manually keep the same base_comp, you can pass
               {base_comp=>$m->base_comp} as a modifier. 

               This is a backward incompatibility, which is why it needs to
               be done in a major version.
