The treatment of self in the function's parameter list seems to
be the pitfall of any .member shortcut proposal. Most proposals
don't even address that point.
Does it become:
class Foo:
def __init__():
.bar = 40
or
class Foo:
def __init__(.):
.bar = 40
or
class Foo:
def __init__(self):
.bar = 40
I guess the middle one is the most consistent, but it seems
ugly compared to what we have now.
