public class PickAnyArgumentHint extends SingleSignatureClosureHint

Base class for hints which use the type of a parameter of the annotated method as the signature. This can optionally use a generic type of the selected parameter as the hint. For example, imagine the following method:

`void foo(A firstArg, B secondArg, Closure c) {...}`

If the c closure should be `{ B it `->` ...}`, then we can see that the parameter type should be picked from the second parameter of the foo method, which is what `PickAnyArgumentHint` lets you do.

Alternatively, the method may look like this:

`void <T> foo(A<T> firstArg, B secondArg, Closure c) {...}`

in which case if you want to express the fact that c should accept a <T> then you can use the `genericTypeIndex` value.

This class is extended by several hint providers that make it easier to use as annotation values.

  - ### PickAnyArgumentHint

    public PickAnyArgumentHint()
    Creates an argument picker which extracts the type of the first parameter.

  - ### PickAnyArgumentHint

    public PickAnyArgumentHint(int parameterIndex, int genericTypeIndex)
    Creates a picker which will extract the parameterIndex-th parameter type, or its genericTypeIndex-th generic type genericTypeIndex is >=0.
    Parameters:
      `parameterIndex` - the index of the parameter from which to extract the type
      `genericTypeIndex` - if >=0, then returns the corresponding generic type instead of the parameter type.
