      Wouldn't it be nice if, in the JDK documentation for the Core API, for
      each Class, Abstract Class, and Interface, that along with the "Field
      Index" and "Method Index", there were an "Inheritance Index" that
      listed (in italics?) all of the methods and fields that it had
      inherited by extending/implementing its superclass, etc...

      We already have this to some extent in:

      Hashtable
      ...
      put()
      Overrides: put in class Dictionary

      - but it's not clear to me whether methods which are not overridden
      are listed, and it might aid clarity if an index of such was available
      as a separate, hyperlinked part of the document.
