According to the rules for field access and expression
names, the following access to i in B is not ambiguous. The reason is
that although there are two i's in B, only one of them is accessible, so
there is no ambiguity.

package here;

interface I {
    int i = 5; // public
}

public class Test {
    static int i = 6; // default
}

public class B extends Test implements I {
    // inherits a public i and a default i
}

package there;

class D extends here.B {
    { System.out.println(here.B.i); }
    // JLS implies this is NOT ambiguous
    // javac says it IS ambiguous!
}
