The overloading on Symbol/MethodSymbol is  very hard to parse - i.e. 
it's hard to tell whether a client would call one or the other. What I'm 
suggesting is that, since both methods seem to share 99% of the code, 
you add the extra logic to the old method guarded by a check (which I 
think is sym.kind == MTH - i.e. if the symbl is a method).
