Overloaded methods with same number of parameters

Reports methods that are declared in the same class, have the same name, and the same number of parameters. Such overloads cam be very confusing because it can be unclear which overload gets called.

Example:

  class Main {
    public static void execute(Runnable r) {}
    public static <T> void execute(RunnableFuture<T> c) {}
  }

Locating this inspection
