     * Resolution of member references is typically done as a single

     * If the member reference is a method reference with a type qualifier,
     * a two-step lookup process is performed. The first step uses the
     * expected argument list A, while the second step discards the first
     * type from A (which is treated as a receiver type).
     *
     * There are two cases in which inference is performed: (i) if the member
     * reference is a constructor reference and the qualifier type is raw - in
     * which case diamond inference is used to infer a parameterization for the
     * type qualifier; (ii) if the member reference is an unbound reference
     * where the type qualifier is raw - in that case, during the unbound lookup
     * the receiver argument type is used to infer an instantiation for the raw
     * qualifier type.
     *
     * When a multi-step resolution process is exploited, it is an error
     * if two candidates are found (ambiguity).
     *
     * This routine returns a pair (T,S), where S is the member reference symbol,
     * and T is the type of the class in which S is defined. This is necessary as
     * the type T might be dynamically inferred (i.e. if constructor reference
