I agree, the methods with no parameters should also be included.

I am not sure about this one. Considering:
"".getBytes(""
there is still viable continuation of this that would lead to the use of 
the first method:
"".getBytes("".length(), ...)

So it may be more appropriate to print also the other method overloads 
that we cannot rule out reliably.
