In the case at hand, it's not an assignment but a method declaration. Maybe
that makes a difference.

In any case, this needs some more investigation than I did for my change. I
think it can be rolled back completely.

Hmm, yes - I guess we can't solve the general case at compile time. That's
unfortunate, though, because it prevents proper compile time optimisation
of builtins in class bodies when their names are assigned at some point,
e.g. with a ".type()" method or ".set()", as was the case here.
