[Swift-devel] Overwriting procedures in swift.

[Yadu Nand]

Hi,

I've been working on getting an implementation for a feature
which allows calling a function by the string-identifier. During
the discussion with Mihael, we found that swift allows us to
redefine a function with no complaints. We think this is a bug
and a check should be put to prevent this. Inputs on this are
welcome.

Eg.

(int o) f (int i){
     o=i;
}

(int z) f (int x){
     z= x*5;
}

trace ( f(8) );

Gives output as 40. while swift should throw an error instead.
