subject [contrib #287] Object shadowing a type?
code 
import scala.xml.Null

class Test[A >: Null]
{
    val x : A = null
}
what happened 
Importing the Null object causes the Null type to magically disappear:


/home/jwebb/tests/test.scala:3 error: not found: type Null
class Test[A >: Null]
                ^
/home/jwebb/tests/test.scala:5 error: type mismatch;
 found   : scala.Null(null)
 required: A
        val x : A = null
                    ^
two errors found
what expected Silent compile.
