Yeah, we really want the compiler to figure out that a free ref to something that is an instance var just needs a 'this' in front of it.

I guess if I had had warning turned on to tell me I was referencing a
free var, it would have been
a clue.

Don is actively working on fixing this... or fixing `this`, I guess I should

I was tearing out my hair over a bug today, which ended up having the
symptom that the loadable libraries worked
in swf8, but only if the library was named "lib".

I traced it down to this code in the kernel


 function $lzc$set_libname(val) {
     this.lib = LzLibrary.findLibrary(val);
     lib.loadfinished();
 }

The binding of 'lib' was referencing a global, which would only be
bound to the library object if it happened to be named
'lib', which it was in all of the unit tests!
