`.Self` is modeled as a new kind of expression, `DotSelfExpression`. Name resolution associates each occurrence of a `DotSelfExpression` with a generic binding, much like for an `IdentifierExpression`. Both `:!` bindings and `where` expressions bring `.Self` into scope. The tentative intent is that if there are multiple `.Self`s in scope and they refer to different bindings, the result of using a `.Self` expression is an ambiguity error, but that is not implemented in this patch. Instead, like for `IdentifierExpression`s, we find the innermost enclosing definition of `.Self`. `.Foo` expressions are rewritten to `.Self.Foo`, but this isn't enough to make them do anything useful, because associated constants aren't supported in general yet.
