To be fair to the OP, even though he doesn't know about explicit object
parameters yet, they were not designed for his use case. I think he wants
to force people to put `this->` in front of member names, because he thinks
it makes the code more readable (by making member names visually distinct
from non-member names). The solution of always using explicit object
parameters sort of achieves this goal, but requires additional syntax of
declaring the explicit object parameter in every function, and declaring a
new and potentially-unique name for it in every member function. While,
granted, conventionally you could always call it `self`, it's still not as
good as using the long-standing and familiar syntax of `this->`.
