/**
 * Allows mock creation with additional mock settings.
 * <p/>
 * Don't use it too often.
 * Consider writing simple tests that use simple mocks.
 * Repeat after me: simple tests push simple, KISSy, readable & maintainable code.
 * If you cannot write a test in a simple way - refactor the code under test.
 * <p/>
 * Examples of mock settings:
 * <pre class="code"><code class="java">
 *   //Creates mock with different default answer & name
 *   Foo mock = mock(Foo.class, withSettings()
 *                                .defaultAnswer(RETURNS_SMART_NULLS)
 *                                .name("cool mockie")
 *                                );
 *
 *   //Creates mock with different default answer, descriptive name and extra interfaces
 *   Foo mock = mock(Foo.class, withSettings()
 *                                .defaultAnswer(RETURNS_SMART_NULLS)
 *                                .name("cool mockie")
 *                                .extraInterfaces(Bar.class));
 * </code></pre>
 * {@link MockSettings} has been introduced for two reasons.
 * Firstly, to make it easy to add another mock setting when the demand comes.
 * Secondly, to enable combining together different mock settings without introducing zillions of overloaded mock() methods.

    /**
     * Specifies the instance to spy on. Makes sense only for spies/partial mocks.
     *
     * Sets the instance that will be spied. Actually copies the internal fields of the passed instance to the mock.
     * <p>
     * As usual you are going to read <b>the partial mock warning</b>:
     * Object oriented programming is more or less about tackling complexity by dividing the complexity into separate, specific, SRPy objects.
     * How does partial mock fit into this paradigm? Well, it just doesn't...
     * Partial mock usually means that the complexity has been moved to a different method on the same object.
     * In most cases, this is not the way you want to design your application.
     * <p>
     * However, there are rare cases when partial mocks come handy:
     * dealing with code you cannot change easily (3rd party interfaces, interim refactoring of legacy code etc.)
     * However, I wouldn't use partial mocks for new, test-driven & well-designed code.
     * <p>
     * Enough warnings about partial mocks, see an example how spiedInstance() works:
     * <pre class="code"><code class="java">
     *   Foo foo = mock(Foo.class, withSettings().spiedInstance(fooInstance));
     *
     *   //Below does exactly the same:
     *   Foo foo = spy(fooInstance);
     * </code></pre>
     *
     * About stubbing for a partial mock, as it is a spy it will always call the real method, unless you use the
     * <code>doReturn</code>|<code>Throw</code>|<code>Answer</code>|<code>CallRealMethod</code> stubbing style. Example:
     *
     * <pre class="code"><code class="java">
     *   List list = new LinkedList();
     *   List spy = spy(list);
     *
     *   //Impossible: real method is called so spy.get(0) throws IndexOutOfBoundsException (the list is yet empty)
     *   when(spy.get(0)).thenReturn("foo");
     *
     *   //You have to use doReturn() for stubbing
     *   doReturn("foo").when(spy).get(0);
     * </code>
