	// As always, having to support concrete methods with pointer
	// and non-pointer receivers, and named vs unnamed types with
	// methods, makes tooling fun.

	// renamings so that an interface method renaming causes
	// concrete methods to change too.  But which ones?
	//
	// There is no correct answer, only heuristics, because Go's
	// "duck typing" doesn't distinguish intentional from contingent
	// assignability.  There are two obvious approaches:
	//
	// (1) Update the minimum set of types to preserve the
	//     assignability of types all syntactic assignments
	//     (incl. implicit ones in calls, returns, sends, etc).
	//     The satisfy.Finder enumerates these.
	//     This is likely to be an underapproximation.
	//
	// (2) Update all types that are assignable to/from the changed
	//     type.  This requires computing the "implements" relation
	//     for all pairs of types (as godoc and oracle do).
	//     This is likely to be an overapproximation.
	//
	// If a concrete type is renamed, we probably do not want to
	// rename corresponding interfaces; interface renamings should
	// probably be initiated at the interface.  (But what if a
	// concrete type implements multiple interfaces with the same
	// method?  Then the user is stuck.)
