If you are considering objecting because it requires "this.", I actually 
find that to be a useful syntax, and my constructors (and setters) use 
it, even if there isn't a name collision with local symbols.

Most experienced Java programmers will take more exception with the 
class name.  Java convention would suggest MyRectangle, not My_Rectangle.

I've seen people try to avoid "name collisions", with ugly results. 
Underscores before members, or before parameters, or other such 
conventions.  Ugly... ugly.
