The intent is to give the appearance of an Objective C selector.

The Selector constructor takes a class argument (the class the method
will be invoked on) because Java doesn't have the notion of a method
independent from a class.  The `objcFlag' says whether the method name is
in Objective C syntax, i.e. "call:with:with:" instead of "call$with$with".

A Selector can only be instantiated if the method name is not
associated with other variants; it cannot be polymorphic.  By
"variant" I mean that call$with$with (int, int) will conflict with
call$with$with (double, double).  If there are conflicts, Selector
will print a warning message.
