Although perhaps it would be strange if "this" refers to the origin record
in the origin expression, then switches to refer to the derived record in
the transformation statement?

In a plain old setter, we could use "this.re = re" as an escape hatch to
avoid shadowing of parameters, but if "this doesn't work like that" inside
a transformation block, perhaps our only way out is to rename
parameters/locals to avoid shadowing?
