Sounds good to me.  It could take a Method[] and a Class[]
representing the arguments, and return the maximally specific methods.
You could lift the code from gcjx if you wanted, though it is probably
easy enough to write it by hand.  The biggest bit in gcjx seems to be
handling method invocation conversion (since this in turn uses other
kinds of conversion).

IMO this is one of those weird little library oversights, like not
being able to get the signature of a class or a method.
