Here is an example:
```scala
case object container {def value: Int = 42}
case object Container {def value: Int = 42}
def extract(wrapper: Any) = wrapper match {
case container => container.value // error: value "value" is not a
member of Any
case Container => Container.value // ok
}
```
It's not a very good example, maybe something like
http://stackoverflow.com/a/6576663/917519 will give you a better use-case
