This, the code and the keyword in this context, is a syntax error.
Only Identifiers, string literals and number literals may appear to
the left of the colons in an object literal (though number literals
don't work in some implementations (such as on Mac IE)).

However, it should be noted that although `this' is listed as a reserved
word in ECMAScript Ed. 3 Final, section 7.5.1, we are not looking at a
syntax error in JavaScript 1.7 as supported by Firefox 2.0.0.14 and
SeaMonkey 1.1.9, and JavaScript 1.8 as supported by Firefox 3.0, but merely
an unfortunate choice of property name.
