Obtaining method bindings for types not explicitly declaring them [message #1724726]

My scenario is this:

class GrandParent<T> {
   public T m(T t) { return null; }
}

class Parent extends GrandParent<String> {
}

class Example extends Parent {
   public String m(String t) { return ""; }
}

In this AST I can easily obtain an IMethodBinding for both declarations of m(): GrandParent.m(T) and Example.m(String).

However, i would like to obtain the binding for Parent.m(String).

Is this possible? Can there even be such a binding?

If such a binding doesn't exist, can i artificially create it, i.e. by manually creating a key and parsing it with some existing utility method?

When you obtain the ITypeBinding for Parent, what do you see in parentType.getDeclaredMethods()?

parentType.getDeclaredMethods() returns an empty array
