It would, supposedly, make it possible to instantiate multiple instances of the LeoApp class. I have just created #1537 <https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues/1537> for this.
As noted in the issue, it's not clear whether changing `g.app` to `self` in the LeoApp class would make any real difference. It might well mislead people. The fact that g.app is a *singleton* instance of the LeoApp class is pretty much baked into Leo. For instance, g.app.db is an external file. Do we really want to complicate the code by creating a dummy instance of g.app.db in some cases? I am willing to discuss this, but I suspect it complicate Leo's code rather than simplify it.
