Hello all,

I have some code like this,

(define-simple-class Person ()
>   ((hello)
>    (hello "Calling from method")))
>


(define (hello message) (format #t "~A~%" message))
>


(hello "Calling from function")
> ((Person):hello)


This doesn't work because I think it gets confused between hello the method
and hello the function:

test.scm:3:4: call to 'hello' has too many arguments (1; must be 0)


I could of course resolve this by renaming 'hello' the function to
something like 'hello*', but is there another way to disambiguate the two?
