When a MethodError occurs because an argument's type is shadowed by a same-named type from another module that the method actually expects, print an explicit hint naming both types with their module prefixes. Without this, both types print as a bare `Foo` and the divergence is easy to miss. This pull request was written with the assistance of generative AI (Claude Opus 4.7).

when you have types of the same name but different modules, and accidentally pass the wrong one to a function, the
MethodErrorcan be confusing until you realize what happened. this attempts to add a hint to alleviate that.example:
