[swift-evolution] Why doesn't Swift allow a variable and a function with the same name?

[Tino Heth]

Afaics the motivation has been explained in detail, but actually, you even can declare such a variable as long as it has its own scope:

class Test {
	func f(i: Int) {
		print(i)
	}

	func g() {
		let f = 1 // hey, works!
		print(f)
		print(self.f(i:f)) // works as well
	}

	var f: (Int) -> Void = f // huh?
}
