There's potential confusion whether the int x from the example comes from point.x (field), point.x() (method) or point.getX() (common getter pattern), just one more gotcha

By reading the proposal [1], I see it's meant for record types. Records seem to be value classes, i.e. the equivalent to Scala's case classes.
In that case, there's absolutely no ambiguity: there's only one `x` you can be talking about.
By the way, value/case classes are such a boon. Very easy to get used to, and once you have, you want to use them everywhere, I guarantee.
