`static Collector<JMethodSig,?,List<JMethodSig>>`	`collectMostSpecific(JTypeMirror commonSubtype)`	Returns a collector that can apply to a stream of method signatures, and that collects them into a set of method, where none override one another.

- Method Detail
  - shouldTakePrecedence
```
protected abstract OptionalBool shouldTakePrecedence(T m1,
                                                     T m2)
```
  - collectMostSpecific
```
public static Collector<JMethodSig,?,List<JMethodSig>> collectMostSpecific(JTypeMirror commonSubtype)
```
    Returns a collector that can apply to a stream of method signatures, and that collects them into a set of method, where none override one another. Do not use this in a parallel stream. Do not use this to collect constructors. Do not use this if your stream contains methods that have different names.
    
    Parameters:
    
    commonSubtype - Site where the signatures are observed. The owner of every method in the stream must be a supertype of this type
    
    Returns:
    
    A collector
