<p>Only two substitutions are considered for determining anchor identity:
</p>
<ol>
<li>If a method signature uses <code>this</code> as the anchor of any of its types,
type checking an application of this method performs the following substitutions:
<br />
A simple <code>this</code> expression is substituted by the actual call target
of the method application.
<br />
A qualified <code>Outer.this</code> expression is substituted by the corresponding
enclosing instance of the call target.
</li>
<li>Assignments from a <code>final</code> identifier to another <code>final</code>
identifier are transitively followed, i.e., if <code>t1, t2</code> are final,
after an assignment <code>t1=t2</code> the types <code>C&lt;@t1&gt;</code> and
<code>C&lt;@t2&gt;</code> are considered identical. Otherwise <code>C&lt;@t1&gt;</code>
and <code>C&lt;@t2&gt;</code> are incommensurable.
<br />
Attaching an actual parameter to a formal parameter in a method call is also considered
as an assignment with respect to this rule.
</li>
