[Bf-cycles] Cycles attributes on object level?

[gandalf3]

This will make *all* objects using the material use the property on the 
*one* object specified in the driver
I'd be nice if there was a way to reference a value on the object owning 
the material, e.g. the object's dimensions.

Perhaps this capability could be added to the relative "self" reference 
now included in drivers? "Self" refers to the datablock containing the 
driver, and in the case of a driver on a node, refers to the node itself 
(which doesn't help if you want to get things like object dimensions).

Maybe a it would be possible to add another special variable like 
"self_object" which references the object *using* whatever datablock the 
driver is on?
