Previously a method argument could be duplicated because it was passed
to the method as well as to its default argument methods. This was fatal
if the argument contained local definitions or was a closure.

We now unconditionally lift such arguments if the method has default
parameters.

Something fails with the CI.

I can reproduce the failure locally, the added run test compiles correctly but generates invalid bytecode which is detected at runtime:

> run tests/run/i2939.scala

Actually, compilation also fails with Ycheck:

How come a Closure is considered a PurePath? It can contain local definitions.

typo: paam -> param ?

* @return pure if expression has no side effects
* idempotent if running the expression a second time has no side effects
* impure otherwise
* @return PurePath if expression has no side effects and cannot contain local definitions

Not sure if PurePath is the best name for this since not every PurePath expression is a valid path. Maybe NoDefPure? Or SimplePure/ComplexPure considering that later on we talk about "complex expressions" ?
