<p>Just as in <a href="s3.1.i.html" title="&sect;3.1.(i)&nbsp;Shorthand definition"
class="sect">&sect;3.1.(i)</a> a shorthand definition allows to introduce
a callout field access method without prior abstract declaration.
This requires the callout field binding to specify types as in line 3 of <a href="s3.5.a.html" title="&sect;3.5.(a)&nbsp;Syntax" class="sect">&sect;3.5.(a)</a> above.
The generated access method is static iff the bound base field is static.
</p>
<p>
A shorthand callout to field may optionally declare a <strong>visibility modifier</strong>,
otherwise the generated method inherits the visibility modifier of the bound base field.
No further modifiers are set.
If a callout to field overrides an inherited method or callout,
it must not reduce the visibility of the inherited method/callout.
