[swift-evolution] Requiring self. to access properties and methods

[Johan Jensen]

It has already been brought up in the (multiple) mail chains named "Proposal:
Re-instate mandatory self for accessing instance properties and functions
<https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-evolution/2015-December/000209.html>
".
You can find more threads and replies to that discussion at
