IMethod.getSignature weirdness... [message #146128]

Why does getSignature sometimes return a 'Q' for reference type field
descriptor instead of the expected 'L'? It seems to happen on non-core
class methods.

For instance, two methods with identical signatures:
java.lang.Byte compareTo (Ljava/lang/Object;)I
net.miscanthus.utils.Jfind compareTo (Qjava.lang.Object;)I

Thanks-- Mike

rtfm yields: org.eclipse.jdt.core.Signature and the explanation.
