Thanks, but I'm looking for a JVM spec, not a JLS spec.  Eg, 5.4.3.3
in the JVM 2nd edition spec.  An example of how this spec is not
accurate is private methods:  If C declares a private method (and the
caller is not C), AND if it inherited a non-private method from its
superclass, the non-private method is "found".  However, if C did not
inherit a method of the same name then the private method is "found".
 Throw in a few static methods and it gets even more confusing.
