[swift-evolution] Name disambiguation of computed property/function with same type defined in extensions

[David Sweeris]

You forgot one :-)
let capitalizedA = ModuleA {
    "hello swift".capitalized()
}

+1 on finding a way to explicitly resolve naming collisions. I'm generally in favor of something like #2 (or #3). A while back, there was a proposal to replace numerical operator precedence with a relative precedence system. I can't remember if it went through, but if so I would argue that the two systems should probably be the same, since they solve the same problem.

I would also suggest there be a way to import a module at a lower precedence than the current source file, for the purposes of "overriding" any top-level functions (or even types, I suppose).

Something like "partially import ModuleA" would solve the problem as well, but I can't think of anything resembling a practical syntax for specifying which parts.
