[swift-evolution] [Pitch] Make Self an alias for object type in object definition

[Adam Nemecek]

What do you guys think about aliasing the type of the current object with
the Self keyword?

E.g. instead of writing

class Test {
  static var value = 0

  func printValue() {
    print(Test.value)
  }
}


One could write

class Test {
  static var value = 0

  func printValue() {
    print(Self.value)
  }
}
