class C():
   def f():
     a = 3

Inserting self into the arg list is trivial.  Mindlessly deciding 
correctly whether or not to insert 'self.' before 'a' is impossible when 
'a' could ambiguously be either an attribute of self or a local variable 
of f.  Or do you and/or Jordan plan to abolish local variables for methods?
