Swift supports static and mutating methods associated with enumerations. Here is code that works in xCode.  
But in Fire v 8.2.89.1909, it results in compile time error “No matching overload”.

```
enum Device {
   case AppleWatch, iPad, iPhone
   static func fromSlang(term: String) -> Device? {
       if term == "iWatch" {
           return .AppleWatch
       }
       return nil
   }

```

}

```
print (Device.fromSlang("iWatch")) <--- No matching overload in Silver. 

```

It should return -\> Device.AppleWatch

Detailed error message: error E399: No overloaded method “fromSlang” with 1 parameter on type “MainActivity!.Device”

Sounds like a bug. Which platform are you compiling for, or does this happen on all three?
