This syntax is reserved to be likely used in the future as a shorthand for
"this::foo" where the resulting expression doesn't take the receiver as a
parameter but has "this" already bound to it
It's done with similar constructions where possible trying to preserve
intended behavior.
Some usages are removed because they test exactly the feature that
we are going to drop soon.
Get rid of all classes except kotlin.reflect.KFunction, which will be used to
represent all kinds of simple functions.
Lots of changes to test data are related to the fact that KFunction is not an
extension function (as opposed to KMemberFunction and KExtensionFunction who
were) and so a member or an extension function reference now requires all
arguments be passed to it in the parentheses, including receivers. This is
probably temporary until we support calling any function both as a free
function and as an extension. In JS, functions and extension functions are not
interchangeable, so tests on this behavior are removed until this is supported
