Self in non-generic/macro positions is harmful for code readability and searchability.

@petrochenkov I personally tend to find it an improvement. Searching should turn up the impl TypeName block that the methods appear in. And for readability, I find it easier to evaluate a type at a glance when it contains Self:

-> Self: a constructor
-> &mut Self: a method that supports chaining, such as a builder method

I agree with @joshtriplett. In particular, it's even better in rustdoc to see Self for reasons aforementioned.
