Since there's no IMethod for the implicit default constructor, IMethodBinding#getJavaElement() cannot return a valid IMethod for such a binding and currently returns null. This should be spec'd.

BTW: the array.length case should be moved to after "array types of any of the above", i.e. something like this:

	 * Here are the cases where a <code>null</code> should be expected:
	 * <ul>
	 * <li>primitive types, including void</li>
	 * <li>null type</li>
	 * <li>wildcard types</li>
	 * <li>capture types</li>
	 * <li>array types of any of the above</li>
	 * <li>the "length" field of an array type</li>
	 * <li>the default constructor of a source class</li>
	 * </ul>
