Classification: Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
When two classes, e.g. Foo and Bar, in which one inherits from the other, e.g. Bar: Foo, and in which the two classes are defined in separate .swift files, contain computed class properties that are overridden in the subclass, the subclass's implementation cannot be called without causing a compiler error.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the attached sample project
2. build+run

Expected Results:
The program should output "bar"

Actual Results:
Compiler error:

main.swift:20:9: error: ambiguous use of 's'
println(Bar.s)
        ^
Bar.swift:12:24: note: found this candidate
    override class var s: String! {
                       ^
main.swift:13:15: note: found this candidate
    class var s: String! {
              ^
