You might have a look at our discussion thread. There is a huge overlap on your 
bikeshedding.

July 27th is last day for breaking source changes for Swift 3...so I thought I 
would bring this up one final time.  

Opinions:
- .self and .Self do not adequately convey what they do without some mental 
gymnastics
- self has somewhat two meanings (accessing a property on the type and getting 
the type of the object)
- We can get into a funky situation where we have self.someVar.self which looks 
odd (though symmetric!)
- What do we call these two selves? Postfix and prefix self? (I.e. Is it 
googleable?)


Ideas:
- rename to .type and .Type
- more bikeshedding? There has to be a better way to express these types other 
than .self and .Self
