JLS 9 §16 includes:

> Each local variable (§14.4) and every blank final field (§4.12.4, §8.3.1.2) must have a definitely assigned value when any access of its value occurs.

> An access to its value consists of the simple name of the variable (or, for a field, the simple name of the field qualified by this) occurring anywhere in an expression except as the left-hand operand of the simple assignment operator = (§15.26.1).

javac 9.0.1+11 rejects uninitialized accesses like the following, as expected:

class A {
  final int x;
  A() {
    System.err.println(x); // x might not have been initialized
    System.err.println(this.x); // x might not have been initialized
    x = 42;
  }
}

However it accepts accesses using qualified this, e.g.:

class A {
  final int x;
  A() {
    System.err.println(A.this.x);
    x = 42;
  }
}

Should accesses to fields using qualified this be rejected?
