Maybe I'm wrong, but, I never saw where using this statement

I'm not aware of any problems with it, but there's also rarely
any reason to
use it. In most cases, it doesn't really add anything to the
code, and I'd
argue that it would make code harder to read, because it hides
where the
variables are coming from. I don't think that we'd really lose
anything if we
didn't have it, but it's there if you want to use it, and it's
not going away.
