Description

Consider the following:

import static Bar.*

interface Foo {
    default m() { 'Foo' }
}
class Bar {
    static  m() { 'Bar' }
}

class Baz implements Foo {
    void test() {
        assert m() == 'Foo'
    }
}

new Baz().test()

The implicit-this method call "m()" has two possible sources. Since Foo is a super-interface, it should be the one selected. However, StaticImportVisitor does not detect that option and replaces the method call with "Bar.m()".
