Please review this patch to fix a bug where a method can be documented multiple times
Consider these 4 classes
A (interface)
/ \
/ \
(abstract class) C B ( interface)
\ /
\ /
D (class)
Where `A` declares `testA()`, `C` implements it `public final void testA()`, `B` extends `A` but does *not* override it, `D` extends `C` and implements `B`
In the generated javadoc, `testA()` is documented twice.

After the patch, `testA()` is only documented once:
