Description

TypeMirror.asElement claims that an ExecutableType is specified by an
ExecutableElement.

However, this is not the case.  When 6352136 is fixed, ExecutableType.asElement
will return null.

Comments

EVALUATION Proposed solution: Move asElement from TypeMirror down to more specific and appropriate subinterfaces. Add convenience method Types.asElement(TypeMirror).

EVALUATION Will adjust specification and implementation accordingly.
