The Draft doesn't say this, and it shouldn't say this.

The subject was discussed in committee.  The construct is
used in plenty of existing code that we saw no reason to break.
It has also been discussed in this newsgroup at length.

For the record, I use "delete this" often.  It works admirably, 
in the right context.  I don't use it anywhere else.
