<dl>
<dt id="remove"><strong>Remove signatures from method binding</strong>
<dd>
Applicable on callout/callin method bindings with signatures:<br/>
<img style="margin-top:10px;" src="../images/screenshots/RemoveSignatures-QuickAssist.png"><br/>
This change is applicable as a <em>quick assist</em>, and &mdash; if either method spec cannot be resolved &mdash; it can also be used as a <em>quick fix</em>.<br/>
Should removing the signatures not fix the problem, subsequent invocation of the inverse, "Add signatures ...", may be tried.
</dt>
<dt id="add"><strong>Add signatures to method binding</strong>
<dd>
Applicable on callout/callin method bindings without signatures.<br />
If no compilation problem exists this change is offered as a <em>quick assist</em>,
which can, e.g., be used in preparation for adding a quard predicate or a parameter mapping.<br/>
It can be invoked as a <em>quick fix</em> if the base method spec is ambiguous due to overloading in the base class:<br />

&nbsp;&nbsp; In this case the list of matching base methods will be presented for selection:<br />
