This would be no different from #file or #line in a default argument position,
I think. If you use it in normal code:
let cls = #Self
it would evaluate as we’ve been discussing elsewhere here. I have had cases
though, where using in a default parameter slot would be useulf (assuming it
evaluates like #file and #line in those cases).

I would expect it to be an error if there were no enclosing type and the
parameter wasn’t specified (but yeah, passing an explicit type should work).

Again, this would only be the case in a default argument position; it would
work just like the other “#” symbols.
