proc redefinition search based on the type system instead of on sloppy AST matching

This will work the same for procs/templates/macros/etc, having arbitrary mix of implicit
and explicit generics (as long as the symbols are equivalent for the purposes of overload
resolution, they will be detected as redefinitions)
