As discussed at the JDT Summit 2005, we'd like to have a new flag on the search
engine to enable more precise enclosing element resolution.

This could be a new matchRule flag for
SearchPattern#createPattern(element, limitTo, matchRule).

When the flag is enabled, the enclosing element should also return
ILocalVariables iff applicable (and probably ITypeParameters, too).
E.g. here ...

    public class Try {
        <TP extends Try> void m(Try methodParam) {
            Try localVar;
            for (java.util.List<Try> localVar2;;) {
    
            }
        }
    }

... the references to Try should have as enclosing element:
- the ITypeParameter TP
- the ILocalVariable methodParam
- the ILocalVariable localVar
- the ILocalVariable localVar2
