   *  because after erasure the Any and AnyVal references get remapped to the Object methods
   *  which would result in a double binding assertion failure.
   * Instead we do the following:
   *
   *  - Have some methods exist only in Any, and remap them with the Erasure denotation
   *    transformer to be owned by Object.
   *  - Have other methods exist only in Object.
   * To achieve this, we synthesize all Any and Object methods; Object methods no longer get
   * loaded from a classfile.
   *
   * There's a remaining question about `getClass`. In Scala2.x `getClass` was handled by compiler magic.
   * This is deemed too cumersome for Dotty and therefore right now `getClass` gets no special treatment;
   * it's just a method on `Any` which returns the raw type `java.lang.Class`. An alternative
   * way to get better `getClass` typing would be to treat `getClass` as a method of a generic
   * decorator which gets remapped in a later phase to Object#getClass. Then we could give it
   * the right type without changing the typechecker:
   *
