Summary: module function - method ambiguity

Initial Comment:
String numberFive() = "fun 5";

void main(String[] args){
   let f = numberFive;
   println( f );
}

   \Nice\Test>java -jar t.jar
   #<procedure numberFive>

//---------------

String numberFive() = "fun 5";

void main(String[] args){
   let f = numberFive;
   println( f );

   let f2 = new Test().numberFive;
   println( f2 );   
}

class Test {
   String numberFive() = "method 5";
}

   \Nice\Test\..\test\test.nice: line 4, column 12:
   Ambiguity for symbol numberFive. Possibilities are :
      java.lang.String numberFive(test.Test this)
      java.lang.String numberFive()

//---------------

String numberFive() = "fun 5";

void main(String[] args){
   let f = numberFive();
   println( f );

   let f2 = new Test().numberFive;
   println( f2 );   
}

class Test {
   String numberFive() = "method 5";
}

   \Nice\Test>java -jar t.jar
   fun 5
   method 5

Fair enough -  how do I get a reference to the function 
object of numberFive(Test this)?

I don't think this is a bug. numberFive without () is considered 
a reference and not a method call by the compiler. There are 
2 possible things it can a reference to: the function object of 
numberFive() and the function object of numberFive(Test 
this).
