transform: do not special-case zero or one implementations of a method call

This is a common case, but it also complicates the code. Removing this
special case does have a negative effect on code size in rare cases, but
I don't think it's worth keeping around (and possibly causing bugs) for
such uncommon cases.

This should not result in functional changes, although the output (as
stated above) sometimes changes a little bit.
