Looking at the set of methods and fields in a ``class`` and finding two that differ only by capitalization is confusing to users of the class.

This situation may simply indicate poor naming. Method names should be action-oriented, and thus contain a verb, which is unlikely in the case where both a method and a field have the same name (with or without capitalization differences). However, renaming a public method could be disruptive to callers. Therefore renaming the member is the recommended action.

|
pass
