im just wondering a bit about the usage of SignatureKey in JavassistMethodInfo. it doesnt seem to add any vaule that i can see. first of all its only used in the method JavassistMethodInfo.getName() where the name can be fetched from the CtMethod object instead. with a mutable methodinfo it lack even more meaning since the method parameters and name dont need to be defined when creating the method. i can understand the usage of SignatureKey in JavassistTypeInfo as it is used as a key for the maps that hold methods, fields, and constructors. - even though a better solution would probably to use the signature of the method/field/constructor as the map key instead of SignatureKey (atleast it would be more efficient). please explain the reason of having the SignatureKey in JavassistMethodInfo, and if there isnt a good reason ill remove it.
