Description Frederic Fusier CLA 2005-11-15 12:02:55 EST 
Build 3.2 M3 (but already exists in 3.1)

When search for references of generic type X<T>, search engine should return
exact match on parameterized type which type arguments are its own variable.

In following example:
class X<T> {
  X<T> field;
  X<T> method() {}
}

Searching for reference to generic type X<T> should return exact match for
return type of method(). Currently, this match is an erasure one.
In fact search engine consider all references to a generic type as erasure
matches...
