Title: TclOO: varnames incorrect when used from other object method
Type: Bug Version: current: 8.6.0

Description:
When using oo::object's varname method on an object within the context of another object's method, [$other varname x] returns as if invoked as [my varname x]. Changing the context (e.g. by using [uplevel #0 $other varname x]) returns the correct result. Example code and output attached.

Fixed for the next release of Tcl 8.6; will also apply to TclOO package for its future releases.

The 'variable' declaration is critical to the problem, as the test case I'm working on (see below) succeeds without it and fails with it. Very strange!

test oo-19.3 {OO: varname method and variable decl: Bug 3603695} -setup {
    oo::class create testClass {
variable foo
export varname
constructor {} {
    variable foo x
}
method bar {obj} {
    my varname foo
    $obj varname foo
}
    }
} -body {
    testClass create A
    testClass create B
    lsearch [list [A varname foo] [B varname foo]] [B bar A]
} -cleanup {
    testClass destroy
} -result 0
