-The type of a method for class C is always of the form:
-	Forall a1..an. C a1..an => sig_ty
-where sig_ty is the type given by the method's signature, and thus in general
-is a ForallTy.  At the point that splitMethodTy is called, it is expected
-that the outer Forall has already been stripped off.  splitMethodTy then
-returns (C a1..an, sig_ty') where sig_ty' is sig_ty with any Notes stripped off.
