Why does the following code works:

class Dog
{
    public string name { get; private set; }
     
    public Dog (string n)
    {
    _name = n;
    }
     
    public void info ()
    {
    GLib.stdout.printf ("My name is %s\n", _name);
    }
     
    public static int main()
    {
    var d = new Dog ("scobby");
    d.info ();
    return 0;
    }
}

?

Vala seems to be confused and treating _name as this.name (or just name).
