I think that if rebinding the implicit method lookup target is desired, `self` should be able to be used as an identifier as discussed [here](https://forums.swift.org/t/the-future-of-weak-self-rebinding/10846), with the exception that the implicit method lookup is the current overload for the `self` identifier.  
eg. in

```swift
struct Example {
   func method() {}
}

struct Main {
  func method() {}
  func test() {
    method() // calls Main.method (via implicit self)
    do {
      let self = Example()
      method() // calls Example.method (via explicit self)
    }
  }
}

```
