Once you have a normal function value, it's not guaranteed you can recover any
identity from it, since an arbitrary T -> U doesn't necessarily correspond to
an @objc method. I'm proposing we do this by type context, similar to how we
form C function pointers and blocks. Just like you can do:
let fptr: @convention(c) (Double) -> Double = sqrt
to get the function pointer for `sqrt`, you could say:
let sel: Selector = Foo.doSomething
to get the selector for `doSomething`.
