  • SR-142 mutating function in protocol extension erroneously requires var declaration of class variables

Issue Description:

This code:

protocol Bar {}

extension Bar {
    var property: String {
        get {
            return ""
        }
        set {
            
        }
    }
}

class Foo: Bar {}

let foo = Foo()

foo.property = "?!" // error: cannot assign to property: 'foo' is a 'let' constant

will not compile, but it should.

The thing is, if foo were of type Bar, then I would have had to make Bar a class-only protocol in order to make it compile. But foo is of type Foo.
