                           Class targetClass)

  Description copied from interface: `MethodMatcher`
  Perform static checking whether the given method matches. If this returns `false` or if the `MethodMatcher.isRuntime()` method returns `false`, no runtime check (i.e. no. `MethodMatcher.matches(java.lang.reflect.Method, Class, Object[])` call) will be made.

  Parameters:
    `method` - the candidate method
    `targetClass` - the target class (may be `null`, in which case the candidate class must be taken to be the method's declaring class)
  Returns:
    whether or not this method matches statically
