AnyMethod is the base class for objects representing methods
Creates a new AnyMethod with a token stream text and name

def initialize text, name

end
             
            Adds an_alias as an alias for this method in context.

def add_alias an_alias, context = nil
  method = self.class.new an_alias.text, an_alias.new_name

  method.visibility = self.visibility
  method.comment = an_alias.comment
  method.is_alias_for = self
  @aliases << method
  context.add_method method if context
  method
end
             
            Prefix for aref is 'method'.
 
               # File rdoc/any_method.rb, line 79
def aref_prefix
  'method'
end
             
            Sets the different ways you can call this method.  If an empty call_seq is given nil is assumed.

If the method has no assigned name, it extracts it from call_seq.

            A list of this method's method and yield parameters.  call-seq params are preferred over parsed method and block params.
