    Internal API
    Detects and flags the occurrences of specific method calls against an instance of a designated class. I.e. String.indexOf. The goal is to be able to suggest more efficient/modern ways of implementing the same function.

    Concrete subclasses are expected to provide the name of the target class and an array of method names that we are looking for. We then pass judgment on any literal arguments we find in the subclass as well.
