[Laszlo-user] proposal for new behavior of compiler when declaring child nodes with same name as attributes

[Henry Minsky]

This is a proposal in response to this bug, which came up when someone named
a child view "layout", and got
unexpected results in a view.

http://jira.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-5799

The current compiler behavior is that it will allow you to declare a child
with the same name as an attribute,
as long as the attribute has a null default value.

This proposal is that we add a new LZX attribute type, "node", which you can
use to declare that
an attribute name can have the same name as child node.

So for example you could have

<class name="myclass">
   <attribute name="titleview" type="node"/>

   <handler name="oninit">

</class>
