When merging a denotation with a PolyType and a denotation with a
MethodType,
infoMeet
will return the MethodType info, but the symbolthat is then used to create the
JointRefDenotation
can come fromeither denotation, if it comes from the PolyType one, the resulting
denotation is inconsistent, this resulted in RefChecks errors.
We fix this by making
preferSym
consistent withinfoMeet
. This isonly a workaround and not a proper fix for #4819 as it doesn't allow
tests/neg/i4819.scala to compile, see the comments in the file.
