As you can see, it's `getMember` who is returning a reference to the `this` instance. In my view, this is a bug according the documentation and examples [1]. It might be that classes behave differently, but then it should be documented.
In fact, it shouldn't work at all and you'd need to instantiate Def: `getMember` should fail because `x` and `y` are not static.
This is not true. `getMember` can return the symbol to the instance or the type/alias, depending if you pass `this` or `Def`. The last is static.
It makes no sense to use the attribute from a class without an instance.
