And it is unreadable. "this.x" is very useful for creating new 
classes in Dart when you build up the main structure of your 
program.

I don't think "this.x" should be considered syntactical sugar. 
That seems semantically like a wrong conclusion. You just specify 
the aggregate variable directly instead of going by a temporary.

Is "a=b" syntactical sugar for "tmp = b; a = b"? No.
