+Subject: [PATCH] scanner: Prefer some getters over others
+
+At the moment the current set of heuristics to determine a getter for a
+property is good for finding *a* getter. However, if there are multiple
+candidates we might declare the wrong method as a getter.
+
+We introduce a priority system to determine which getter candidate is
+the most appropriate as the getter. The weight were chosen with gaps in
+between so that new and better heuristics have space to thrive.
+
+For a property named `p`, these are the possible getter candidates:
+
+ - A method declared via the `(getter p)` annotation
+ - The method `get_p`
+ - The method `is_p`
+ - The method `p`
+
+we declare the getter to be the first candidate in the list for which a
+method of the same name is available.
+
+See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs/-/issues/681.
