Well, there is the enormous exception of all Java code inside static
methods, static initializers, and field-initializing expressions. (The
latter _is_ "code inside an object" because it's compiled into constructors;
but you can't use 'this' anyway.) So, the Java language certainly has long
and extensive tradition of supporting contexts of code where 'this' does not
exist, including contexts where there is no such thing as an enclosing
object.
