• SR-1846 "Variable used in its own initial value" error when using a function (not a variable) of the same name

Issue Description:

If you try to assign the result of a function that has argument labels to a variable with the same name as the first part of the function, it does not compile, with the error: "Variable used within its own initial value".

Example:

struct Person {
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String
}

func name(for person: Person) -> String {
    return person.firstName + " " + person.lastName
}

let ada = Person(firstName: "Ada", lastName: "Turner")
let name = name(for: ada) // Variable used within its own initial value
