Summary of Problem

Steps to Reproduce

hello2-module.chpl:

module A {
  proc A() {}
}

module Main {
  proc main() {
    use A;
    A.A();
  }
}

If we use not equal names for module and procedure, it works fine. But if they are equal like above I have this output

hello2-module.chpl:12: In function 'main':
hello2-module.chpl:15: error: unresolved call 'shared chpl__fcf_type_void_void.A()'
hello2-module.chpl:4: note: this candidate did not match: A()
hello2-module.chpl:15: note: because call is written as a method call
hello2-module.chpl:4: note: but candidate function is not a method

If we use some other module, that will cause an ambiguous call problem, and we will resolve it explicitly, B.A() works fine, but A.A() not
hello2-module.chpl:

module A {
 proc A() {}
}

module B {
 proc A() {}
}

module Main {
 proc main() {
   use A;
   use B;
   B.A()  // OK
   A.A(); // error: 'A' undeclared (first use this function)
 }
}

hello2-module.chpl:12: In function 'main':
hello2-module.chpl:16: error: 'A' undeclared (first use this function)

Compile command:
chpl hello2-module.chpl

Execution command:
./hello2-module
