Replace our ad hoc parser with PPI about method-signatures HOT 4 CLOSED

The trick here, as I see it, is to figure out how to pass information between Method::Signatures::Parser::split_proto, which splits the signature into prototypes, and parse_func, which splits each prototype into its individual components. split_proto already uses PPI, but parse_func does not. So either parse_func has to use PPI on the same stuff that's already been PPI-parsed once (inefficient), or split_proto has to return something a hell of a lot more complex than an array of prototypes.

I suspect the real answer is to have a real object representing a signature while parsing. Then methods can store and modify things on the object rather than pass them around.

I think this may be address by version 20121201. Is there more to do here?

I'm going to close this. If there's specific bits which don't use PPI we want to address we can do that in a new issue.
