Alternative classes with different interfaces smell

This smell occurs when two methods in different classes do the same thing but have a different method signature. You should try to rename the methods that do the same thing in a consistent way. However, often there is a deeper problem where two classes are doing something very similar. You could try to move methods around or extract the common behavior into a common superclass.
