Closure "shadowing" functions

Using Swift
1

class iClass{
    let myProperty:(String)->() = { value in
        print("1: \(value)");
    }
    func myProperty(value: String)->() {
        print("2: \(value)");
    }
}

iClass().myProperty("a"); // 1: a

No error is thrown in this case, however it is not possible to call the
"myProperty (value: String) -> ()" function, is there any alternative? This
is expected behavior?

I’m surprised Swift even allows you to declare a property and a method with the same name.
Why don’t you just rename one of them?

Agreed, this seems like a bug in the redeclaration checking logic.

iClass.myProperty(iClass())("func")

But I would rather avoid shadowing at all.

File a bug on bugs.swift.org is enough?

File a bug on bugs.swift.org <Issues · apple/swift · GitHub; is enough?

That would be great, thanks!
