RE: `this` in static context

[eric.milles]

For sure , "this" and "super" are supported within a closure defined in a 
static context.  Are you saying they also work directly in a static method?  
Given "class A { static main(args} { this } }", this should be of type 
"Class<A>" if it is indeed supported.  It follows that it would work, since you 
can call directly methods on Class<A> from that scope, like getCanonicalName().
