Object Context Qualifiers

A note on Object Context Qualifiers

You'll find this term being used at some places in these notes. The term "Object Context Qualifiers" is not used anywhere generally and is not a "real" Computer Science term, AFAIK. Its a term I use for my understanding to refer to keywords which are used to discern or "qualify" the context of a member in an object, that is, to identify if a member being referred to is a member of the current class of the object, or its superclass.

Reasons why it makes sense

1. Qualifiers do refer to lexical tokens which are used to remove ambiguity while identifying entities. So that's where this comes from.
2. Another reason is Java's Qualified this construct.
3. These keywords are used in object contexts, not static ones.
