Swift 2: Regression: Protocol typealiases & enum cases share a namespace

Summary:
In Swift 1.2, an enum could conform to a protocol with typealiases shadowing the names of its cases. This worked out just fine in practice because they could never actually collide; the types were available in constraints and the cases were available when constructing instances of the type.

Swift 2 has regressed this, erroring out with unhelpful (bogus) paths.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile this code:

protocol EitherType {
	typealias Left
	typealias Right

	func either<V>(ifLeft ifLeft: Left -> V, ifRight: Right -> V) -> V
}

enum Either<T, U>: EitherType {
	case Left(T)
	case Right(U)

	func either<V>(ifLeft ifLeft: T -> V, ifRight: U -> V) -> V {
		switch self {
		case let .Left(left):
			return ifLeft(left)
		case let .Right(right):
			return ifRight(right)
		}
	}
}



Expected Results:
Success.


Actual Results:
Bad errors:

either.Either:5:13: error: invalid redeclaration of 'Left'
  typealias Left = T
            ^
./either.swift:11:7: note: 'Left' previously declared here
        case Left(T)
             ^
either.Either:6:13: error: invalid redeclaration of 'Right'
  typealias Right = U
            ^
./either.swift:12:7: note: 'Right' previously declared here
        case Right(U)
             ^

NB: the errors themselves state that the redeclaration is in either.Either, which isn’t actually a Swift source file. Xcode therefore can’t show me the source which the errors reference, which is the icing on the cake.


Regression:
This compiled fine in Swift 1.2 (modulo the intrusion of Box or equivalent).
