/** \class TClingMethodInfo
Emulation of the CINT MethodInfo class.
 
The CINT C++ interpreter provides an interface to metadata about
a function through the MethodInfo class.  This class provides the
same functionality, using an interface as close as possible to
MethodInfo but the typedef metadata comes from the Clang C++
compiler, not CINT.
