[swift-evolution] [Pitch] Adding a Self type name shortcut for static member access

[Andrey Tarantsov]

> My preference would be for there to be only one Self, and have it always be the dynamic type of 'self'. Some people disagree, but I don't think it's all that onerous to have to write ClassName.foo if that's really what you specifically mean.

+1. There's just no way we want to explain two kinds of Selves to people.

However, we need to make sure it works in these contexts:

1) #selector
2) getting an unbound method
3) referring to static methods (including private ones)
