 ### Fixes
 
+- A Scala chained call like `xs.map { … }` no longer lands on an object that happens to be named `map`, as with cats' `alleycats.std.map` and its `syntax`/`instances` objects. A type or object in a chain is only matched when the receiver names what holds it, as in `sttp.client4.Response(…)`.
 - A Python call to a name the function or module binds itself now means that local value, not a same-named function in another file. In Django REST Framework's tests, `view = SomeView.as_view()` followed by `view(request)` had pointed at one test file's `def view`. The same goes for a parameter or a `for`/`with … as` target. A pytest fixture a test takes as a parameter is still the fixture.
 - A method call on a variable is no longer guessed to be a test double's method just because the double has the only method of that name. That covered classes named `Mocked…`, `Fake…`, `Stub…` or `Dummy…`: django-allauth's `resp.json()` calls had all gone to its `MockedResponse`. A test that names the double still calls it.
 - Kotlin imports now decide what a name means, as Java imports already do. `import java.net.Proxy` or `import org.mockito.Mockito.mock` no longer links to a same-named project symbol, and a member the file declares itself still comes first. An `import x.Foo` picks the right one of several same-named classes: on okhttp, `MockResponse.Builder()` and `Request.Builder()` now reach their classes. A renaming import like `import …internal.unsafeFlow as flow` means the function it names.
