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.

Java synthesizes public constructors in private classes to
allow access from inner classes. The signature of
that synthetic constructor (known as a "access constructor")
has a dummy parameter appended to avoid overloading clashes.
javac chooses the type "Enclosing$1" for the dummy parameter
(called the "access constructor tag") which is either an
existing anonymous class or a synthesized class for this purpose.
In OpenJDK, this transformation is performed in:
langtools/src/share/classes/com/sun/tools/javac/comp/Lower.java
(Incidentally, scalac would just emits a byte-code public
constructor in this situation, rather than a private constructor /
access constructor pair.)
Scala parses the signature of the access contructor, and drops
the $outer parameter, but retains the dummy parameter. This causes
havoc when it tries to parse the bytecode for that anonymous class;
the class file parser doesn't have the enclosing type parameters
of Vector in scope and crash ensues.
In any case, we shouldn't allow user code to see that constructor;
it should only be called from within its own compilation unit.
This commit drops the dummy parameter from access constructor
signatures in class file parsing.
