/**
* Sets whether the Inspector injects a request-level 'this' attribute into
* UiFacesAttribute evaluations. False by default.
*
* The problem with UiFacesAttribute annotations is that, although the annotation
* is placed on the business object, the EL expression relies on the UI. If the JSF context is
* not properly initialized with certain managed bean names, the annotation will not work. This
* is rather brittle. Injecting 'this' instead allows the EL to function regardless of how the
* JSF context is configured.
*
* Note: injectThis cannot be used in other EL expressions such as
* UiFacesLookup. Those expressions are evaluated at a different phase of the JSF
* lifecycle, possibly without FacesInspector being invoked. For example if a
* h:selectOneMenu fails to validate during POSTback, its
* f:selectItems will be redisplayed without a new inspection and with no chance to
* injectThis.
*
* Note: injectThis also injects a request-level '_this' attribute, for use in EL
* 2.2 expressions.
*
* @return this, as part of a fluent interface
