Yes, but getDeclaredMethods returns only methods declared by the type,
not all methods inherited.
Arrays do not declare them and the spec says it should return an empty
array of Methods if it is an array type.

If getMethods() is called (for all methods), it should correctly figure
out that the superclass of the array type is Object and collect them.
