   *  (4) Do the following to unapplied methods used as values:
   *  (4.1) If the method has only implicit parameters pass implicit arguments
   *  (4.2) otherwise, if `pt` is a function type and method is not a constructor,
   *        convert to function by eta-expansion,
   *  (4.3) otherwise, if the method is nullary with a result type compatible to `pt`
   *        and it is not a constructor, apply it to ()
   *  otherwise issue an error
