  3. abstract def asSeenFrom(pre: Universe.Type, clazz: Universe.Symbol): Universe.Type

    This type as seen from prefix pre and class clazz.

    This type as seen from prefix pre and class clazz. This means: Replace all ThisTypes of clazz or one of its subclasses by pre and instantiate all parameters by arguments of pre. Proceed analogously for ThisTypes referring to outer classes.

    Example:

    scala> import scala.reflect.runtime.universe._
import scala.reflect.runtime.universe._

scala> class D[T] { def m: T = ??? }
defined class D

scala> class C extends D[Int]
defined class C

scala> val D = typeOf[D[_]].typeSymbol.asClass
D: reflect.runtime.universe.ClassSymbol = class D

scala> val C = typeOf[C].typeSymbol.asClass
C: reflect.runtime.universe.ClassSymbol = class C

scala> val T = D.typeParams(0).asType.toType
T: reflect.runtime.universe.Type = T

scala> T.asSeenFrom(ThisType(C), D)
