## Motivation
#### Locals have the highest priority
A variable of function type goes before members:
```
class A { fun foo() = 1 }
fun test(a: A, foo: () -> Int) {
with (a) {
foo()
}
}
```
In anonymous objects local variables are chosen, not members:
```
interface A {
val foo: Int
}
fun createA(foo: Int) = object : A {
override val foo = foo
}
```
#### Top-level scope chain
The priorities: explicit imports; functions in the same package; star-imports; function from stdlib.
Explicit import should hide descriptors imported by `*`.
There is no scope for file, because moving a function to another file in the same package should not change the resolution.
The function imported explicitly goes before the function from the same package; the latter one may live in another file.
#### The order of implicit receivers

## Technical notes
When we resolve a property `foo` for a call `foo()` we don't stop on the first property, but instead we collect all variables with the name `foo` and for each of them try to find the `invoke` function:
```
class A {
val foo: () -> Unit = { println("Hello world!") }
}
fun test(foo: Int) {
with(A()) {
foo // parameter
foo() // property + invoke
}
}
```
