This PR prepares the improvement for JEP 488.
The proposed approach is described in the CSR.
In terms of compiler implementation, we add the related translation in `TransPatterns`. Interestingly, this issue would be ideally addressed in `TransTypes`. However, there are some conveniences in `TransPatterns` that would need to be pulled into `TransTypes` to make this work: 1) the dependency to `makeBinary` and transitively to `operators` and 2) a lot of ceremony around `currentMethodSym` is already setup nicely in `TransPatterns`.
