Description
Happens on both v0 and v1.
class MyClass
sub myMethod()
print FUNCTION_NAME
end sub
end class
Transpiles to:
function __MyClass_builder()
instance = {}
instance.new = sub()
end sub
instance.myMethod = sub()
print "" ' <--- actually not sure what it should print... something like "MyClass::myMethod"?
end sub
return instance
end function
function MyClass()
instance = __MyClass_builder()
instance.new()
return instance
end function

Research direction
Start by locating the FUNCTION_NAME handling and the class-method transpilation path, then reproduce the MyClass example from the issue in the relevant compiler test setup. Determine the intended value for a method such as MyClass::myMethod and add coverage showing that the source literal is no longer emitted as an empty string.
