signature(::Method) on a generated function errors #23

Description

@oxinabox

However, signature(type_tuple) works.

julia> @generated foo(x) = :(1+1)
foo (generic function with 1 method)

julia> signature(only(methods(foo)).sig)
Dict{Symbol, Any} with 2 entries:
  :name => :(op::typeof(foo))
  :args => Expr[:(x1::Any)]

julia> signature(only(methods(foo)))
ERROR: Method is @generated; try `code_lowered` instead.

 [8] top-level scope
   @ REPL[38]:1

The error is to do with how we are finding the names of the arguments.
which is not done for if we are doing it from the type-tuple.
However, there must be another way since the names are displayed by methods

julia> methods(foo)
# 1 method for generic function "foo":
[1] foo(x) in Main at REPL[36]:1
