be able to successfully implement this criterion, we only call generated

generators with abstract types if the generator does not use said abstract type
(and thus cannot incorrectly use it to break monotonicity). This function

the provided names must be a subset of the method's keyword arguments.

    Base.isambiguous(m1, m2; ambiguous_bottom=false) -> Bool

Determine whether two methods `m1` and `m2` may be ambiguous for some call
signature. This test is performed in the context of other methods of the same
function; in isolation, `m1` and `m2` might be ambiguous, but if a third method
resolving the ambiguity has been defined, this returns `false`.
Alternatively, in isolation `m1` and `m2` might be ordered, but if a third
method cannot be sorted with them, they may cause an ambiguity together.

For parametric types, the `ambiguous_bottom` keyword argument controls whether
`Union{}` counts as an ambiguous intersection of type parameters – when `true`,
it is considered ambiguous, when `false` it is not.
