get parameter list information for the given method - returns a list: [minimumArgc, optionalArgc, varargs], where minimumArgc is the minimum number of arguments, optionalArgc is the number of additional optional arguments, and varargs is true if the function takes a varying number of arguments greater than or equal to the minimum, nil if not.
