*** Important note for busy commit log skimmers ***
Symbol method "fullName" has been trying to serve the dual role of "how
to print a symbol" and "how to find a class file." It cannot serve both
these roles simultaneously, primarily because of package objects but
other little things as well. Since in the majority of situations we want
the one which corresponds to the idealized scala world, not the grubby
bytecode, I went with that for fullName. When you require the path to a
class (e.g. you are calling Class.forName) you should use javaClassName.
package foo { package object bar { class Bippy } }
If sym is Bippy's symbol, then
sym.fullName == foo.bar.Bippy
sym.javaClassName == foo.bar.package.Bippy
*** End important note ***
There are many situations where we (until now) forewent revealing
everything we knew about a type mismatch. For instance, this isn't very
helpful of scalac (at least in those more common cases where you didn't
define type X on the previous repl line.)
scala> type X = Int
defined type alias X
scala> def f(x: X): Byte = x
<console>:8: error: type mismatch;
found : X
required: Byte
def f(x: X): Byte = x
^
Now it says:
found : X
(which expands to) Int
required: Byte
def f(x: X): Byte = x
^
In addition I rearchitected a number of methods involving:
- finding a symbol's owner
- calculating a symbol's name
- determining whether to print a prefix
No review.

Another lap around the track with generic signatures. At the root of the
issue reported in #4214 is our old friend (fondly remembered from the
days of primitive equality) boxed/primitive unification.
// scala
trait T[A] {
def f(): A
}
// the generic signature spec doesn't allow for parameterizing
// on primitive types, so this cannot remain Char. However
// translating it to Character, as was done, also has issues.
class C extends T[Char] {
def f(): Char = 'a'
}
// Note that neither of the signatures for f, the implementation // or
the bridge method, matches the type parameter. Generic interfaces in
class: T<java.lang.Character> Generic signatures: public char C.f()
public java.lang.Object C.f()
After this commit, primitive type parameters are translated into Object
instead of the boxed type. It was martin's idea, so no review. Closes
#4214.
