I personally prefer to use it, as it makes it clearer for me later when I
come back as to what is a class member/function and what is in the
local/global scope. I say use which one you prefer. I came from a java
background, and I remember always using 'this' with java classes. But that's
just my 2 cents. :) It can be helpfully for when you come back to code and
you're trying to remember what you did.
