BTW I wonder when this is required in field initializer... Never ?

This is technically a breaking change. In the future it would be good to open an issue and have a discussion about such changes, but I'm willing to gamble that most existing users of this lint would want these cases found as well.

Yes, never. The spec says that an initializer of the form x = e is equivalent to this.x = e.

It's not a breaking change: it's a fix of a bug regarding the effective dart rule DON’T use this. when not needed to avoid shadowing :) There's even an example with that case!

Thanks! Good to know.

Ah, I didn't realize that. (It's been a long time since I read the guide. :-)
