Matching of static variable name with some function's parameter name gives error.

static text : i32 = 1i32;

fn read_block(text: &str) {

fn main() {

Hmm, I am not sure if this is a bug or not. I can see it both ways.

As I understand, this error is related to the situation like this

static text : &str = "rust";

fn main() {
    match "rust compiler" {
        text => ... , // rather to use const text: &str = "rust"; 
        ....
    }
}

static text: &str = "rust";

fn foo( text: i32 ) {
     print!("{}", text); // usage of the function parameter
     print!("{}", ::text); // usage of the static variable
}
