I had the same experience with Java. Writing 'this' also helps to avoid
having to artificially mutate variable names that are logically related
in code such as:

    class Blah {
        Foo foo;
        Blah(Foo foo) {
            this.foo = foo;
        }
        ...
    }

Now, I've admittedly been corrupted by Python, but I know some Java purists
who like this ('this'?) style too.
