This adds a new lint warning for when a class/method/type-member's
type parameter shadows an existing type: `-Xlint:type-parameter-shadow`.
It excludes type parameters of synthetic methods (the user can't
rename or remove those anyway), otherwise, for example, every case class
triggers the warning.
Also fixes a test that contained wrong java sources (that didn't even
compile...), discovered thanks to the warning.
---
This kind of errors shows up every now and then on the mailing-list, on
stackoverflow, etc. so maybe a warning would be useful.
I was afraid this would yield too many warnings for libraries that are
heavy on type parameters, but no: running this on scalaz and shapeless
HEAD (`v7.1.0-RC1-41-g1cc0a96` and `v2.0.0-M1-225-g78426a0` respectively)
yields 44 warnings. None of them are false positives; they usually come
from:
- scalaz loving using `A` as type parameter, even several levels deep
of parametrized classes/methods
- or calling a type parameter that will hold a map `Map`, or similar,
thus shadowing an existing type
