Simplify class member conflict rules.
As of patchset 5: The ruleset concerning class member conflicts
(apart from simple name clashes) has now been simplified
considerably, and it's expressed in one location, in a new section
(the locations where we previously had such rules are now
`\commentary{}` with a reference to the new section).
The old rules and the new simplified rules specify the same set
of conflicts (in that sense, patchset 4 == patchset 5).
The old description below gives details about what was changed
from the start of this CL until patchset 4.
------------------------------- OLD description:
Added conflict for constructor and setter with "the same name".
Discussed the inconsistent approach to conflicts between named
constructors and instance members with Lasse; we agreed that it
is confusing if we allow the constructor `C.n` to coexist with the
instance method/getter `n` and instance setter `n=`, except that
they must be inherited rather than declared in the enclosing class
`C`, so I adjusted the wording such that only _static_ members
conflict with named constructors.
One more reason why there is no conflict between `C.n` and an instance
member named `n` or `n=` is that the latter can _never_ be denoted
by `C.n` (but static members can be denoted by `C.n`, also in `C`).
