You mean static (applied to types, including fields in objects)
languages? Those are not like JS in the critical sense that a free
variable reference in a JS method, e.g.
class C {
m() { return x; }
...
}
should resolve per lexical scope, not per an implicit `this.` that may
or may not apply, depending on whether 'x' in this => true.
If you say it always means `this.x` then there's no way to refer to an
outer lexical variable, x.
So there has to be some prefix, if not `this.`, to distinguish.
