Oops!  The general theme behind these shorthands is to eliminate
redundancy.  A line like: "method_signature_dictionary =3D 
method_signature_dictionary[2..length(method_signature_dictionary)]"
is error-prone and messes up my nice code.  However, breaking existing
code is a no-no, so I'll have to live without this one.
