• SR-9096 If a variable shadows a function, the diagnostic when attempting to invoke the variable like a function should suggest to rename the variable or qualify the function

Issue Description:

This code provides unclear error message:

extension UIViewController {
    
    func findFirst<T>(of type: T.Type) {
        let t = type(of: self) // error: Non-nominal type 'T' does not support explicit initialization
    }
    
}

In this case variable type shadows type(of🙂 function.

Maybe compiler should provide more clear error message.

Environment: swift 4.2 Xcode 10.1. swift 5 Xcode 10.2
