There isn't any reason why the Refactor->Extract Constant can't be used for
instance expressions as well as static expressions. An instance field declared
as final is still a constant.

Can the warning with 'cannot extract constant; non-static expression' be removed and changed
to generation of a non-static final field?

public class Example {
  public void examle() {
    this.toString(); // highlight 'this.toString()' and do a Refactor->Extract constant
  }
}
