      * {@code type} parameter will simply be the class or interface
      * directly enclosing {@code overrider} (the possibly-overriding
      * method).  For example, suppose {@code m1} represents the method
      * {@code String.hashCode} and {@code m2} represents {@code
      * Object.hashCode}.  We can then ask whether {@code m1} overrides
      * {@code m2} within the class {@code String} (it does):
      *
      * <blockquote>
      * {@code assert elements.overrides(m1, m2,
      *          elements.getTypeElement("java.lang.String")); }
      * </blockquote>
      *
      * A more interesting case can be illustrated by the following example
      * in which a method in type {@code A} does not override a
      * like-named method in type {@code B}:
      *
      * <blockquote>
      * {@code class A { public void m() {} } }<br>
      * {@code interface B { void m(); } }<br>
      * ...<br>
      * {@code m1 = ...;  // A.m }<br>
      * {@code m2 = ...;  // B.m }<br>
      * {@code assert ! elements.overrides(m1, m2,
      *          elements.getTypeElement("A")); }
      * </blockquote>
      *
      * When viewed as a member of a third type {@code C}, however,
      * the method in {@code A} does override the one in {@code B}:
      *
      * <blockquote>
      * {@code class C extends A implements B {} }<br>
      * ...<br>
      * {@code assert elements.overrides(m1, m2,
      *          elements.getTypeElement("C")); }
      * </blockquote>
      *
      * @param overrider  the first method, possible overrider
      * @param overridden  the second method, possibly being overridden
      * @param type   the type of which the first method is a member
      * @return {@code true} if and only if the first method overrides
      *          the second
