I believe that 'this' is a class handle and should be treated consistent
with
the way other class handles are treated.

class A;
  int x;
endclass

class B;
  int y;
endclass

A v = new;

function void f();
  B v = new;
  $display(v.x); // This should be an error
endfunction

In this case, you cannot resolve 'x' in class 'B'. You do not keep
looking in the outer scope for another class handle 'v'.

I don't see why 'this' should be treated any differently.
