APIView - Show summary of methods and definition count across all packages within a language

[praveenkuttappan]

Feature request from Josh Free and Jonathan. This is something that .Net review system supports and would benefit in knowing if a specific method is already defined in any package and how many times and where?

More details on this feature request chat:

the ability to click on a method and get a count of how many times that name has been used in all APIs for a particular language

    i.e. yesterday I was looking at a naming mismatch in some of our APIs where we in some places use a method named 'retry' and in other places 'retryOptions'

    I had to go into my IDE to look up if there was prior art for one of these.   so it's a feature where methods are catalogued and looked up with references to where they are used.  I would say it is a specific method name across all libraries for a single language. it won't be specific per review - it's a cross-cutting review feature

    for instance, their fxcore apidiff has a feature I miss; which is a way to quickly get the api-count -- the number of times the same name has been used in public APIs in all surface area (all SDKs from the repo)

    so we can make a decision between name-A and name-B by just going with the one we've used most frequently
