Public summary

Identifiers are case-insensitive, so a local variable can silently hide a method or property of the enclosing class or module. For example, declaring Var fmt As String inside a method that belongs to a type with a Fmt() method means the name now resolves to the local; later code that calls Fmt(...) produces confusing errors that do not point at the shadowing declaration.

Requested: extend the existing "shadows" compiler warning, which today covers locals hiding variables, parameters, and member constants, to also warn when a local variable or parameter hides a method, property, or computed property of its enclosing class or module.
