/**
 * Available via {@link MockitoFramework#getInvocationFactory()}.
 * Provides means to create instances of {@link Invocation} objects.
 * Useful for framework integrations that need to programmatically simulate method calls on mock objects.
 * To simulate a method call on mock, one needs an instance of {@link Invocation}.
 * <p>
 * Please don't provide your own implementation of {@link Invocation} type.
 * Mockito team needs flexibility to add new methods to this interface if we need to.
 * If you integrate Mockito framework and you need an instance of {@link Invocation}, use {@link #createInvocation(Object, MockCreationSettings, Method, RealMethodBehavior, Object...)}.

 * @since 2.10.0
