Yeah, I was mainly concerned with convenience and not semantics.
'this.a = a' is a simple way to disambiguate between parameters and
fields.

Side-note: I frequently use an "alias typeof(this) This;" in my
classes so I don't have to hard-code the name of the class/struct. I
sort of wish 'This' was implicitly given to us for every struct/class
type. :)
