So, I think this is true by definition; on normal return from a
super/this/implicit super call, then `this` *is* DA.
You can simplify the rule about try blocks to:
- if `this` is DU on entry to a try block, it must be DU on normal
completion of the try block.
Can you simplify further, while still preventing `this` calls inside a
try block? I don't think so, since we might want to allow a try block
before the super/this call.
