Compiler error: “Variable used within its own initial value”<br>
The variable name unfortunately clashes with the function name.<br>
<br>
This problem forces the developer to think about an alternative name.<br>
IMHO that’s suboptimal since many times the most canonical naming would be one where these two go by the same name.<br>
<br>
It’s not a big problem in practice but I wonder if there are plans to change this?<br>
