+ Hi,
+
+ The fix is not ideal: there is nothing stopping an application from
+naming its SpecialName methods "get_". In fact, this is exactly what
+IKVM.NET does: it generates accessors for static variables, so
+System.out becomes java.lang.System.get_out().
+
+I think the correct fix is to check whenever the method is an operator
+or a property accessor.
