I did finally find one more use for the THIS scope; in CFAJAX, it can be used to create a component that, when returned to the browser via the CFAJAX engine, behaves the way people expect structures to behave (i.e. named keys to the elements of a JS object).
Strangely enough, structures themselves don't behave this way. Go figure.
