+1 to the whole idea.
Also, for the reasons already given, I agree that ::method looks
better than this::method, which looks better than self::method.
I am not sure it's worth the spec weight to have a lot of variants in
the syntax. The most important thing is to allow * in place of an
entire m

I prefer :: also, but if you need another reserved Java keyword, you

Just use 'this' instead of 'self'. 'this' is a Java keyword so it can't be

I think JSNI references should honor imports and the normal name resolution
