Description

Often if a method is missing we see an error message of the form:

Reason: unsupported dynamic function invocation (call to boundary_state!)

Would it be possible to get an error message similar to a MethodError (with the signature and close matches)?

Research direction

Start by locating the code that emits the exact “unsupported dynamic function invocation” message, then compare its diagnostics with Julia’s MethodError formatting. Determine how the signature and close matches should be presented; done means missing dynamic calls report that additional information consistently.
