/** - uncurry all symbol and tree types (@see UnCurryPhase) -- this includes normalizing all proper types.
 *  - for every curried parameter list:  (ps_1) ... (ps_n) ==> (ps_1, ..., ps_n)
 *  - for every curried application: f(args_1)...(args_n) ==> f(args_1, ..., args_n)
 *  - for every type application: f[Ts] ==> f[Ts]() unless followed by parameters
 *  - for every use of a parameterless function: f ==> f()  and  q.f ==> q.f()
 *  - for every def-parameter:  x: => T ==> x: () => T
 *  - for every use of a def-parameter: x ==> x.apply()
 *  - for every argument to a def parameter `x: => T':
 *      if argument is not a reference to a def parameter:
 *        convert argument `e` to (expansion of) `() => e'
 *  - for every repeated Scala parameter `x: T*' --> x: Seq[T].
 *  - for every repeated Java parameter `x: T...' --> x: Array[T], except:
 *    if T is an unbounded abstract type, replace --> x: Array[Object]
 *  - for every argument list that corresponds to a repeated Scala parameter
 *       (a_1, ..., a_n) => (Seq(a_1, ..., a_n))
 *  - for every argument list that corresponds to a repeated Java parameter
 *       (a_1, ..., a_n) => (Array(a_1, ..., a_n))
 *  - for every argument list that is an escaped sequence
 *       (a_1:_*) => (a_1) (possibly converted to sequence or array, as needed)
 *  - convert implicit method types to method types
 *  - convert non-trivial catches in try statements to matches
 *  - convert non-local returns to throws with enclosing try statements.
 *  - convert try-catch expressions in contexts where there might be values on the stack to
 *      a local method and a call to it (since an exception empties the evaluation stack):
 *
 *      meth(x_1,..., try { x_i } catch { ..}, .. x_b0) ==>

     * a practical problem in `erasure`: it is not able to correctly determine if
     * such a signature overrides a corresponding signature in a parent. (SI-6443).
