Thanks for the clarification, the Method class had slipped my
my mind.  I gather from the discussion and a glance at the
documentation, but not the code, that Method behaves much
like a class wrapping my reinvented tuple.  But the documentation
doesn't mention how one could, for example, get the Symbol for
the method.  Might be useful for testing equivalence, no?
