I think "This" would cause huge confusion, since in other popular language the keyword "this" means (a pointer/reference to) "the instance variable on which the method is being called" -- my use is instead for "the object of the immediate lexically enclosing scope" (a module, class, or function). Implementation wouldn't be trivial in today's CPython, anyway: frames have no references at all to function objects (only to _code_ objects), and class objects don't even exist untill well after their top-level code has long finished running; to make Current possible, these subtle points of semantics would have to be changed in quite a revolutionary way, especially where classes are concerned.
