Find a Method using the methodKey provided.

Look in the methodMap for an entry. If found, it'll either be a CACHE_MISS, in which case we simply give up, or it'll be a Method, in which case, we return it.

If nothing is found, then we must actually go and introspect the method from the MethodMap.

Returns:the publicly callable counterpart method. Note that if the parameter method is itself declared by a public class, this method is an identity function.
