To what end?

In most cases you already know precisely which function you are trying to
execute. Comparing that single function against your call site and
figuring out what is wrong is fairly simple debugging work.

I don't see any good way to say: "given this function signature, and the
fact it cannot be found, what are the next closest function signatures that
are present".
