thx for the examples - never though of these problems

i personaly would just forbid any shadowing and single-self-assign and then having unique names (i use m_ for members and p_ for parameters etc.) or give a compile error asking for this.x or .x (maybe problematic
with inner structs/functions)

I think, in general, if you need to prefix/suffix any symbols name,
there's something wrong with the language.

In Ruby the usage of a variable is always prefixed: `@foo` for instance vars, `$foo` for global variable, `FOO` for constant. You can't make a mistake. It's... perfect :-)

OTOH, the distinction between methods and local variables isn't as easy to see. It's still deterministic, albeit using non-obvious syntactic rules.
