Well, we had one opinion for the opposite. I think I might leverage the -compiler.mxml.compatibility-version option. Even though this isn't MXML, we'll add a 4.7 version as the default and require 'this'. But if you set compatibility-version to 4.6 or earlier you will get legacy behavior. >4.

Actually, what I meant was, has anyone seen mention of a specification where resolving functions is different from resolving variables such that 'this' isn't actually required? Thanks, -Alex
