I might get away with excluding seq from hashCode computation and only use it in equals(). This way Key(s) could be modified in-place (hashCode would not change, entry would stay in same bucket), it would just become equal to some other Key. Modification operations would keep the invariant that there are no duplicate Key(s) at any time in the Map. All entries sharing same method signature would end-up in the same bucket (and maybe share it with entries that just happen to have the same hashCode mod capacity) and we would get a similar linked list of entries as with previous approach - only without another level of indirection...
That would not work. I would have to have the Key object accessible. Since Map does not have a getKey(key) operation, I would have to store the Key as a value too. And we're back to MethodList approach...
