Not minimized... and not endorsing...

scala> import scala.reflect.runtime.universe
import scala.reflect.runtime.universe

scala> import scala.reflect.internal.{ Definitions, SymbolTable, StdNames }
import scala.reflect.internal.{Definitions, SymbolTable, StdNames}

scala> val ds = universe.asInstanceOf[Definitions with SymbolTable with StdNames]
ds: scala.reflect.internal.Definitions with scala.reflect.internal.SymbolTable with scala.reflect.internal.StdNames = scala.reflect.runtime.JavaUniverse@52a16a10

scala> val n = ds.newTermName("foo")
n: ds.TermName = foo

scala> ds.nme.defaultGetterName(n,1)
res1: ds.TermName = foo$default$1
