public final class LocalObject extends Expression
LocalObject i.e. This class expression. 
 
 Simula Standard: 3.8 Object expressions
 
 local-object = THIS class-identifier
A local object "this C" is valid provided that the expression is used within the class body of C or that of any subclass of C, or a connection block whose block qualification is C or a subclass of C (see 4.8).

The value of a local object in a given context is the object which is, or is connected by, the smallest textually enclosing block instance in which the local object is valid.

If there is no such block the local object is illegal (in the given context). For an instance of a procedure or a class body, "textually enclosing" means containing its declaration.
