Hi all,

have you ever noticed how confusing the Scala REPL output it?

scala> def foo(in: String): Int = ???
foo: (in: String)Int

I have learned what this "foo: (in: String)Int) is supposed to mean. But 
from a beginner's perspective I find it puzzling. Instead it should display 
something like this:

method created: foo(in: String): Int 

Would someone support/guide me in fixing this?

Cheers,
Raphael
