I was wondering if this is of any interest to have the () and the compiled method with number because it breaks self evaluation for nothing.

when working with compiled methods, it makes it easy to see if you are looking (likely) at the same one. In turn, it makes it easy to see if a method is changed. With my tiny "in image" AST-to-BC JIT in Reflectivity, this was very useful to have. It's even useful when doing it "see, I invalidate the class, and all active methods are on the fly regenerated befor execution".
