Description

class Foo {
  def F = 1
  def f = 2
}

def foo = new Foo()
foo.F = 5 // output remains the same if we change this to: foo.f = 5

println foo.@f // 2
println foo.@F // 5

println foo.f  // 5
println foo.F  // 5

println foo.getProperty("f") // 5
println foo.getProperty("F") // 5

The funny thing is that if the lower-case property definition comes first...

class Foo {
  def f = 2
  def F = 1
}

... then the output is much more sensible (2 5 2 5 2 5).
