Re: "this->" -> "." alias

Seems a bit much to make a language change just to allow member shadowing
doesn't it? The following is no more typing heavy:

struct A

{

    int _var;

    void foo(int & var);

};

void A::foo(int & var)

{

    var = 1; // changes parameter

    _var = 2; // changes member variable

}
