So, in the constructor of your example I would use "variable", while I'd
use "my variable" in the methods:
 
oo::class create P {
     constructor {{x 0} {y 0}} {
         variable x_ $x y_ $y
     }
 
     method x {} {
         my variable x_
         return $x_
     }
}

What I still don't understand is that in method x, _both_ "my variable"
_and_ plain "variable" seem to work.

In fact the only time I've needed "my" so far is in a method call. (But
I'll read the web page that was recommended and am still working my way
through reading Tip 257.)
