Create property with same name as type

I tried doing this in a class declaration.

public var Thing : Thing = Thing()

It says,

Variable used within its own initial value

If I remove the assignment then it gives.

Thing used within its own type

So no luck. Is it possible to use the same name for the property as the type? Its possible in C# :) At present I have lower cased the property name.

If the following doesn't work:

public var thing: Thing = Thing()

There error is likely in the init method of Thing

If you conform to the naming convention and declare variable names with a leading lowercase letter, it's possible.

public var thing : Thing = Thing()
