Description
**Solidity version 0.7.4**
Should the compiler warn about such name clashes even if one of them is a file-level function and the other one a function declared inside an interface?
Contributor guide
Research direction
The report gives no source file, test, or entry point. Reproduce the Solidity 0.7.4 example involving a file-level function and an interface function, then trace the compiler's name-clash diagnostics; done means determining and documenting the expected warning behavior, with a regression test if the project structure identifies an appropriate location.
