/**
 * Allow flexible verification or stubbing. See also {@link AdditionalMatchers}.
 * <p>
 * {@link Mockito} extends Matchers so to get access to all matchers just import Mockito class statically.
 * <pre class="code"><code class="java">
 *  //stubbing using anyInt() argument matcher
 *  when(mockedList.get(anyInt())).thenReturn("element");
 *  
 *  //following prints "element"
 *  System.out.println(mockedList.get(999));
 *  
 *  //you can also verify using argument matcher
 *  verify(mockedList).get(anyInt());
 * </code></pre>
 * Scroll down to see all methods - full list of matchers.
 * <p>
 * <b>Warning:</b>
 * <p>
 * If you are using argument matchers, <b>all arguments</b> have to be provided by matchers.
 * <p>
 * E.g: (example shows verification but the same applies to stubbing):
 * <pre class="code"><code class="java">
 *   verify(mock).someMethod(anyInt(), anyString(), <b>eq("third argument")</b>);
 *   //above is correct - eq() is also an argument matcher
 *   
 *   verify(mock).someMethod(anyInt(), anyString(), <b>"third argument"</b>);
 *   //above is incorrect - exception will be thrown because third argument is given without argument matcher.
 * </code></pre>
 * <p>
 * Matcher methods like <code>anyObject()</code>, <code>eq()</code> <b>do not</b> return matchers.
 * Internally, they record a matcher on a stack and return a dummy value (usually null).
 * This implementation is due static type safety imposed by java compiler.
 * The consequence is that you cannot use <code>anyObject()</code>, <code>eq()</code> methods outside of verified/stubbed method.
 *
 * <p>
 * <b>Warning 2:</b>
 * <p>
 * The any family methods <b>*doesn't do any type checks*</b>, those are only here to avoid casting
 * in your code. If you want to perform type checks use the {@link #isA(Class)} method.
 * This <b>might</b> however change (type checks could be added) in a future major release.
 *
 * <h1>Custom Argument Matchers</h1>
 * 
 * Use {@link Matchers#argThat} method and pass an instance of hamcrest {@link Matcher}.
 * <p>
 * Before you start implementing your own custom argument matcher, make sure you check out {@link ArgumentCaptor} api.
 * <p>
 * So, how to implement your own argument matcher?
 * First, you might want to subclass {@link ArgumentMatcher} which is an hamcrest matcher with predefined describeTo() method.
 * Default description generated by describeTo() uses <b>decamelized class name</b> - to promote meaningful class names.
 * <p>
 * Example:
 * 
 * <pre class="code"><code class="java">
 *   class IsListOfTwoElements extends ArgumentMatcher&lt;List&gt; {
 *      public boolean matches(Object list) {
 *          return ((List) list).size() == 2;
 *      }
 *   }
 *   
 *   List mock = mock(List.class);
 *   
 *   when(mock.addAll(argThat(new IsListOfTwoElements()))).thenReturn(true);
 *   
 *   mock.addAll(Arrays.asList("one", "two"));
 *   
 *   verify(mock).addAll(argThat(new IsListOfTwoElements()));
 * </code></pre>
 * 
 * To keep it readable you may want to extract method, e.g:
 * <pre class="code"><code class="java">
 *   verify(mock).addAll(<b>argThat(new IsListOfTwoElements())</b>);
 *   //becomes
 *   verify(mock).addAll(<b>listOfTwoElements()</b>);
 * </code></pre>
 *
 * <b>Warning:</b> Be reasonable with using complicated argument matching, especially custom argument matchers, as it can make the test less readable. 
 * Sometimes it's better to implement equals() for arguments that are passed to mocks 
 * (Mockito naturally uses equals() for argument matching). 
 * This can make the test cleaner. 
 * <p>
 * Also, <b>sometimes {@link ArgumentCaptor} may be a better fit</b> than custom matcher. 
 * For example, if custom argument matcher is not likely to be reused
 * or you just need it to assert on argument values to complete verification of behavior.
