Even if vala doesn't get confused, the inconsistency is a problem and will most definitely cause issues later so it needs to be resolved anyway. I also presented all the possible solutions to the problem (including yours) and showed the issues with every one of them but the one I provided. What exactly would the exact error from valac tell you that I haven't already told?
