These are the terms sent out in the proposal last week and described in
StoredAndComputedVariables.rst.
variable
anything declared with 'var'
member variable
a variable inside a nominal type (may be an instance variable or not)
property
another term for "member variable"
computed variable
a variable with a custom getter or setter
stored variable
a variable with backing storage; any non-computed variable
These terms pre-exist in SIL and IRGen, so I only attempted to solidify
their definitions. Other than the use of "field" for "tuple element",
none of these should be exposed to users.
field
a tuple element, or
the underlying storage for a stored variable in a struct or class
physical
describes an entity whose value can be accessed directly
logical
describes an entity whose value must be accessed through some accessor
