Description

I propose to add a setter for field MethodNode.name that allow AST transformations to change a method name, which can be useful at times. My current use case is a DSL for which I want to allow method names composed of arbitrary characters (whitespace, question mark, etc.). For this to work, method names will occasionally have to be encoded to avoid a VerifyError later on.
