Description

get a class

class Constants {
  static final pi = 3.14  //final property with implicit getter
}

and another one

import static Constants.*

println Pi  // first reference
println Constants.Pi //second reference

IMHO both references to pi should throw a MissingPropertyException as they have capitalised first letter. Or both of them should not. Now first reference works while the second ref does not.

BTW if we provide explicit 'public' modifier to pi, both references fail.
