This isn't the problem Jordan tries to address. It's really just about
`self` in the argument signature of f, not about its omission in the
body. Some problems occur when not `self` shall be used but e.g.
`this`. Here one has to specify more:
class C():
__self__ = 'this' # use `this` instead of `self`
def f(a):
this.a = a
or
class C():
def f($this, a): # use `this` instead of `self`
this.a = a
When an $-prefixed parameter is found the automatic insertion of
`self` will be blocked and the $-prefixed parameter name will be used
instead but without the prefix.
