It’s almost 1am, so I’m only scratching the surface, mechanistically
applying the renames that I’ve written down in my notebook:
* typeSignature => info
* declarations => decls
* nme/tpnme => termNames/typeNames
* paramss => paramLists
* allOverriddenSymbols => overrides
Some explanation is in order so that I don’t get crucified :)
1) No information loss happens when abbreviating `typeSignature` and `declarations`.
We already have contractions in a number of our public APIs (e.g. `typeParams`),
and I think it’s fine to shorten words as long as people can understand
the shortened versions without a background in scalac.
2) I agree with Simon that `nme` and `tpnme` are cryptic. I think it would
be thoughtful of us to provide newcomers with better names. To offset
the increase in mouthfulness, I’ve moved `MethodSymbol.isConstructor`
to `Symbol.isConstructor`, which covers the most popular use case for nme’s.
3) I also agree that putting `paramss` is a lot to ask of our users.
The double-“s” convention is very neat, but let’s admit that it’s just
weird for the newcomers. I think `paramLists` is a good compromise here.
4) `allOverriddenSymbols` is my personal complaint. I think it’s a mouthful
and a shorter name would be a much better fit for the public API.

Due to an unfortunate name collision, internal.Symbols#Symbol.isLocal
means something different from Flag.LOCAL. Therefore api.Symbols#Symbol.isLocal
was directly violating its documentation.
Since we can’t give api#isLocal an implementation different from internal#isLocal,
we have to rename, and for that occasion I have come up with names
api#isPrivateThis and api#isProtectedThis, which in my opinion suits the
public API better than internal#isPrivateLocal and internal#isProtectedLocal.
Given the extraordinary circumstances of having no way for api#isLocal
to work correctly, I’m forced to remove api#isLocal without a deprecation
notice, exercising our right to break experimental APIs, something that
we have never done before for reflection or macros. This is sad.
