-/**
- * A formal type parameter may be found in the the enclosing class, but it could
- * also come from an enclosing method or outer class, in the case of inner-outer
- * classes or anonymous classes.  For example:
- *
- * class Outer<T,V> {
- *   class Inner<W> {
- *     void m(T t, V v, W w);
- *   }
- * }
- *
- * In this case, the type variables in m()'s signature are not all found in the
- * immediate enclosing class (Inner).  class Inner has only type parameter W,
- * but it's outer_class field will reference Outer's descriptor which contains
- * T & V (no outer_method in this case).
- *
- * If you have an anonymous class, it has both an enclosing method *and* an
- * enclosing class where type parameters can be declared:
- *
- * class MOuter<T> {
- *   <V> void bar(V v) {
- *     Runnable r = new Runnable() {
- *       public void run() {}
- *       public void foo(T t, V v) { ... }
- *     };
- *   }
- * }
- *
- * In this case, foo will be a member of some class, Runnable$1, which has no
- * formal parameters itself, but has an outer_method (bar()) which provides
- * type parameter V, and an outer class MOuter with type parameter T.
- *
- * It is also possible that the outer class is itself an inner class to some
- * other class (or an anonymous class with an enclosing method), so we need to
- * follow the outer_class/outer_method chain to it's end when looking for a
- * type parameter.
