Update protocols.adoc

[ieugen]

Made sure this is mentioned as first argument.
It's not obvious from the docs.

Because you've added an extra argument, the example calls are no longer correct.

Perhaps renaming the current first argument to this would be a safer change? (although that would make the argument lists be this b and this b c which is less intuitive in my opinion)

[ieugen]

I can prepend this and drop the last argument.

@seancorfield : If it's still not good, please feel free to update it so it is fine.

The protocol P / bar-me code is still incorrect because you've added an argument there.

I'll leave it up to @puredanger et al to decide what clarifications actually work / are needed here.

There are a couple of existing issues, #215 and #216, that I think also have some excellent points and examples. I think the most important thing to change about the examples here is to make the examples actually meaningful, and not use foo/bar/baz at all. Or maybe it's syntax + examples or something.

My one hesitation with making this more prevalent (even though this is a common usage), is that it implies extra meaning for developers coming from Java (where that is a special thing), and also the anaphoric macro proxy where this actually is a "special" bound symbol. But maybe it's just a matter of saying that explicitly in the doc.

[ieugen]

I think keeping this (for a lack of better name) + explicit mentioning behavior in the docs is good enough.
I could try to merge the docs.
@puredanger: please let me know if you want to take this on or not.
