Description Jim des Rivieres CLA 2004-11-19 13:57:57 EST 
EnhancedForStatement declares a method 
  public IVariableBinding resolveBinding();

This API method is out of character for statement nodes, which don't generally
have bindings at all. It's not clear why it was added in the first place.
The method is certainly superfluous; clients can simply call
  EnhancedForStatement.getParameter().resolveBinding()

The EnhancedForStatement is one of the node types that is new for JLS3. This 
API method was introduced back in 3.0, but has never been implemented 
correctly (it has always returned null).

We should delete this method from the API before 3.1 ships.
