    Description

      Current signatures have <? extends X>, for example:

      List<? extends MethodInfo> getMethods()
      

      This works fine for Clover's internal data structures (as there are subclasses), but it's not usable by developers using this API. It should be possible to have an assignment like:

      List<HasMetrics> methodMetrics = classInfo.getMethods()
      

      Fix: change to <? super X>.

      Note: We may need to expose additional methods in interface. They could throw Exception("not implemented") or return nulls.
