I would suggest adding the search of an inner class after the
search for properties and methods. This way the meaning of
existing code does not change.
(A problem remains in that it's possible in Java to define an
inner class with the same name as a property or method. Such an
inner class would be hidden by the property when used as a type
and by the method when used as a constructor if they both share a
common argument list.)
So:
-------------
Section 5 (Terms)/Stub evaluation:
4th point, adding a #2.5 subentry:
2.5 An inner class whose name matches the symbol in the current
class. If the stub is part of a compound symbol, then it may
also be in a superclass, searching upwards from the current
class.
4th point, updating the #3 subentry:
3. A static or constant property, a static method or a static
inner class whose name ... for a matching property, method or
inner class ...
Section 5 (Terms)/Continuation evaluation:
1st point, maybe allowing inner class constructor?
3rd point, updating the entry:
o If the segment is a symbol, then it refers to either a
property, a method or an inner class ...
<similar changes in the second paragraph>
Section 6 (Methods and constructors)
1st point, either updating the #4 subentry or adding a #5.
Section 6 (Methods and constructors)/Constructor methods
updating the text to recognize inner classes.
-------------
I hope I didn't overlooked too many changes. Comments?
