OVERVIEW FEATURE SUMMARY: This type add ability to project valid interfaces(classes) for further extending/implementing. 'This' means current interface/class type or something implementing/extending it.

[snip]

DETAILS:

SPECIFICATION: (I did not have time to analyze this completely.)

The Project Coin mailing list is not an alternate forum to submit requests for enhancements of the Java specification. Rather, it is a venue for the analysis and refinement of thought-through proposals to change the language.

If one is not willing or able to work through implications of the proposal, it it not appropriate to be sent to the list.

REFERENCES

Notice that considered document does not contain complete analyze of those solutions and can have some lacks. So if you have some questions/advices that it does not fully fit with Project Coin, post it on my blog to discuss: http://lasu2string.blogspot.com/2009/03/this-type.html

Generally the discussion of proposals sent to Project Coin should occur on the Project Coin list. Besides making the current status of proposals easier to track, various parties have expressed interest in why previous language design decisions were made and having all the traffic on Project Coin makes that retrospective analysis possible.
