> The following code runs successfully.
> {code}
> class Foo {
>   static void main(String[] args) {
>     assert "${this.name} ${super.name}" == 'Foo java.lang.Object'
>     super = true
>     this = false
>     assert "${this.name} ${super.name}" == 'Foo java.lang.Object'
>   }
> }
> {code}
> The attempt to change these 'special' variables is ignored but there should be some kind of error. I think it makes sense for this to be a compilation error and it should come late in the compilation phases to allow DSLs to include 'this' or 'super' and transform them into something sensible.
