// MethodNum is an integer that represents a particular method
// in an actor's function table. These numbers are used to compress
// invocation of actor code, and to decouple human language concerns
// about method names from the ability to uniquely refer to a particular
// method.
//
// Consider MethodNum numbers to be similar in concerns as for
// offsets in function tables (in programming languages), and for
// tags in ProtocolBuffer fields. Tags in ProtocolBuffers recommend
// assigning a unique tag to a field and never reusing that tag.
// If a field is no longer used, the field name may change but should
// still remain defined in the code to ensure the tag number is not
// reused accidentally. The same should apply to the MethodNum
// associated with methods in Filecoin VM Actors.
