Is 'this%' missing by design or is it just not yet implemented?
It's missing by design, because it's unclear what type it can be assigned. Typed Racket requires that a class type describes all of the methods/fields that a class actually has, so that when you subclass it you can statically check that no method/field name conflicts will occur. But you can't write down such a type for `this%` because the methods/fields it will have is only known at runtime. In particular, it may actually be a subclass of the class you originally wrote the `this%` reference in.
