説明
### Description
When a Method Reference Expression performs creation of an array (e.g. `String[]::new`), `MemberRefExpr.getReferencedCallable()` has no result.
This is technically correct since there exists no 'array constructor', however it might make working with `MemberRefExpr` more cumbersome. I created this issue mainly to discuss how this can be solved, or how the current situation can be improved. A few solutions might be:
- Model a 'dummy' array constructor so `getReferencedCallable()` has a result; however, make sure that no other element by accident has this dummy constructor as result (e.g. array creation expression)
- Adjust the documentation for `getReferencedCallable()` and create a new predicate `getCreatedArrayType()` which has in these cases the result
### Example
CodeQL query:
```ql
import java
from MemberRefExpr m
where not exists(m.getReferencedCallable())
select m
```
