Just to confirm: you are not alone. I always thought that allowing to imply
local this (‘this.’) was a bad idea (C#). Seriously, this is not 5 chars
that’ll hurt but it could make IDE work a lot easier, and it make code reuse
more efficient (if you need to copy/paste some code, if you stay in the same
class, it will work as intended, not if a function argument can override the
class field). It also brings symetry to the code (this.a==other.a).

You're requiring manual semicolon insertion before lines like this.
Consciously?
Sight. Right. Not a good idea, then.
An important consideration is that eliminating `this` will increase the
grawlix-factor of JavaScript (I always liked the explicit `this`, especially
compared to Java).
