It's not just globals. It's hiding fields as well:

I've had this happen during a cut/paste session, which happens when
I'm refactoring my code.
I actually use this on PURPOSE -- I always use the 'this' pointer when
referring to members anyway. It's a great way to avoid unnecessarily
renaming x to things like x1, x_1, x_, _x, x0, x_0, this_x, my_x, myx,
etc...
Even more common with constructor parameters and instance fields.
