16.  def formalTypes(formals: List[Global.Type], numArgs: Int, removeByName: Boolean = true, removeRepeated: Boolean = true): List[Global.Type]

    The formal parameter types corresponding to `formals`.

    The formal parameter types corresponding to `formals`. If `formals` has a repeated last parameter, a list of (numArgs - numFormals + 1) copies of its type is appended to the other formals. By-name types are replaced with their underlying type.

    removeByName

      allows keeping ByName parameters. Used in NamesDefaults.

    removeRepeated

      allows keeping repeated parameter (if there's one argument). Used in NamesDefaults.

17.  def freshVar(tparam: Global.Symbol): Global.TypeVar

    A fresh type variable with given type parameter as origin.

    Solve constraint collected in types `tvars`.

    tvars

      All type variables to be instantiated.

    tparams

      The type parameters corresponding to `tvars`

    getVariance

      Function to extract variances of type parameters; we need to reverse solution direction for all contravariant variables.

   Deprecated

     (Since version 2.12.16) Use `formatString.format(value)` instead of `value.formatted(formatString)`, or use the `f""` string interpolator. In Java 15 and later, `formatted` resolves to the new method in String which has reversed parameters.
