hmm, didn't find mention of "this" usage in this doc
maybe i was not clear so trying to be a bit more: updating code to use "final" is IMO a nice update. The update i don't get is why replacing "foo()" by "this.foo()". If the call is ambiguous it is a bad practice and if it is not it makes code a bit less readable IMO wdyt?
