My tests assumes this for anon inner classes, local classes and 
non-static member classes.

Test assume two first arguments are synthesized.

I forgot about this. The current test-cases do cover the case of final 
variable references.

For constructors I assume the only synthesized arguments are the one 
mentioned above.
This should be true for synthesized constructors as well, since they do 
not have any user declared constructors.
