invocation.getExecutable().getExecutableDeclaration() returns null in case of enum methods call

Docs say getExecutableDeclaration() should return CtExecutable even if Spoon should use reflection to do it. There is an example it doesn't and invocation.getExecutable().getExecutableDeclaration() returns null.
Steps to reproduce:
Create

enum E {
}

Create call to E.values() and assign invocation to CtInvocation of it. Now invocation.getExecutable().getExecutableDeclaration() returns null.

Possible reason is that class E is not recognized as subclass of java.lang.Enum because E is in source path and java.lang.Enum isn't and there are no extends declaration on E.

I agree this is a real problem for end users. I've proposed a solution in #661 , what do you think?

[fedorov-s-n]

I wonder why java.lang.Enum isn't reflected as all enum's parent? It actually is! Imho, enum methods aren't different from any other method that is recovered by reflection

Well, got it, issue is these are synthetic methods of Enum. Yes, looks like generating implicit methods is the only available solution.
