Pardon me. C# does NOT allow that:
test.cs(3,17): error CS0102: The type `Foo' already contains a definition for
`stop'
Java allows it, but Java is one of very few languages where method isn't an
object (it is an object -- function pointer -- even in C and C++).

No, you don't. If there was just the method, this.stop would return
a delegate calling it, so when there's also field stop, the statement would
not be defined.
