    getGeneric(int...), getGenerics()
  - hasUnresolvableGenerics
```
public boolean hasUnresolvableGenerics()
```
    Determine whether the underlying type has any unresolvable generics: either through an unresolvable type variable on the type itself or through implementing a generic interface in a raw fashion, i.e. without substituting that interface's type variables. The result will be true only in those two scenarios.
  - getNested
```
public ResolvableType getNested(int nestingLevel)
```
    Return a ResolvableType for the specified nesting level. See getNested(int, Map) for details.
    
    Parameters:

public ResolvableType getNested(int nestingLevel,
                                Map<Integer,Integer> typeIndexesPerLevel)
```
    Return a ResolvableType for the specified nesting level. The nesting level refers to the specific generic parameter that should be returned. A nesting level of 1 indicates this type; 2 indicates the first nested generic; 3 the second; and so on. For example, given List<Set<Integer>> level 1 refers to the List, level 2 the Set, and level 3 the Integer.
    The typeIndexesPerLevel map can be used to reference a specific generic for the given level. For example, an index of 0 would refer to a Map key; whereas, 1 would refer to the value. If the map does not contain a value for a specific level the last generic will be used (e.g. a Map value).
    Nesting levels may also apply to array types; for example given String[], a nesting level of 2 refers to String.
    If a type does not contain generics the supertype hierarchy will be considered.
    
    Parameters:
    
    nestingLevel - the required nesting level, indexed from 1 for the current type, 2 for the first nested generic, 3 for the second and so on
    
    typeIndexesPerLevel - a map containing the generic index for a given nesting level (may be null)
    
    Returns:
    
    a ResolvableType for the nested level or NONE
  - getGeneric
```
public ResolvableType getGeneric(int... indexes)
```
    Return a ResolvableType representing the generic parameter for the given indexes. Indexes are zero based; for example given the type Map<Integer, List<String>>, getGeneric(0) will access the Integer. Nested generics can be accessed by specifying multiple indexes; for example getGeneric(1, 0) will access the String from the nested List. For convenience, if no indexes are specified the first generic is returned.
    If no generic is available at the specified indexes NONE is returned.
    
    Parameters:
    
    indexes - the indexes that refer to the generic parameter (may be omitted to return the first generic)
    
    Returns:
    
    a ResolvableType for the specified generic or NONE
    
    See Also:

  - getGenerics
```
public ResolvableType[] getGenerics()
```
    Return an array of ResolvableTypes representing the generic parameters of this type. If no generics are available an empty array is returned. If you need to access a specific generic consider using the getGeneric(int...) method as it allows access to nested generics and protects against IndexOutOfBoundsExceptions.
    
    Returns:
    
    an array of ResolvableTypes representing the generic parameters (never null)
