No, there isn’t really. Nashorn (well, actually Dynalink that’s underlying
Nashorn’s Java-binding functionality) gives preference to a method over a field
as methods are more flexible, can include preconditions, can be overridden etc.
There’s an assumption that whoever designs the class with both a field and a
method sharing their name (or method name conforming to getter convention for
the property) would consider the method to be more specific.
