Summary:
Code in instance methods attempts to resolve static properties instead of globals by the same name. This is dumb and invalid.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. This code:
struct S {
	static var f: ()

	func g() {
		let h: () -> Int = f
	}
}

func f() -> Int {
	return 0
}


Expected Results:
should compile


Actual Results:
but gives a spurious dumb error:
boom.swift:5:22: error: 'S' does not have a member named 'f'
                let h: () -> Int = f
                                   ^


Regression:
Doesn’t happen if S.f doesn’t exist.
Doesn’t happen if S.f is a static func.
Does happen if S.f is a static property of function type, e.g. static let f: () -> Int = { 1 }
Pretty sure this has always happened.

You can resolve f in the outer scope with ModuleName.f but what a nuisance.


Notes:
The error message is particularly dumb; yes, it’s true S does not have a member named 'f'—so don’t try to use it! Argh.
