/**
 * Checks for certain uses of the {@code this} keyword that are considered
 * unsafe because they are likely to reference the global {@code this} object
 * unintentionally.
 *
 * 
A use of {@code this} is considered unsafe if it's on the left side of an
 * assignment or a property access, and not inside one of the following:
 * 

 * 
a prototype method
 * 
a function annotated with {@code @constructor}
 * 
a function annotated with {@code @this}.
 * 
a function where there's no logical place to put a
 *     {@code this} annotation.
 * 
 *
 * 
Note that this check does not track assignments of {@code this} to
 * variables or objects. The code
 * 
 * function evil() {
 *   var a = this;
 *   a.useful = undefined;
 * }
 * 
 * will not get flagged, even though it is semantically equivalent to
 * 
 * function evil() {
 *   this.useful = undefined;
 * }
 * 
 * which would get flagged.
 *
