TypeDeclarationPattern's char classOrInterface is being used to create a key 
in createIndexKey(). The key for a search without specifying typename, 
packagename, enclosingname will become 
[*, /, C] 
if classOrInterface is set to IIndexConstants.CLASS_SUFFIX. 
 
Index entries of e.g. toplevel types in the default package will look like  
[S, o, m, e, T, y, p, e, /, /, /, C] 
 
Now in DiskIndex.addQueryResults(), Index.isMatch(key, word, matchRule) is 
called, which will run a CharOperation.match(pattern, word, false) (pattern 
match). 
 
This returns false, although it should be a match. CharOperation.match() is 
probably not greedy wrt the '*', i.e. the '*' doesn't include the first two 
slashes. 
 
When searching with TYPE_SUFFIX, the generated key will be null, where 
CharOperation.match() returns true.
