/**
 * Allow flexible verification or stubbing. See also {@link AdditionalMatchers}.
 *
 * <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>
 *
 * <p>
 * Since Mockito <code>any(Class)</code> and <code>anyInt</code> family matchers perform a type check, thus they won't
 * match <code>null</code> arguments. Instead use the <code>isNull</code> matcher.
 *
 * <pre class="code"><code class="java">
 * // stubbing using anyBoolean() argument matcher
 * when(mock.dryRun(anyBoolean())).thenReturn("state");
 *
 * // below the stub won't match, and won't return "state"
 * mock.dryRun(null);
 *
 * // either change the stub
 * when(mock.dryRun(isNull())).thenReturn("state");
 * mock.dryRun(null); // ok
 *
 * // or fix the code ;)
 * when(mock.dryRun(anyBoolean())).thenReturn("state");
 * mock.dryRun(true); // ok
 *
 * </code></pre>
 *
 * The same apply for verification.
 * </p>
 *
 *
 * Scroll down to see all methods - full list of matchers.
 *
 * <p>
 * <b>Warning:</b><br/>
 *
 * If you are using argument matchers, <b>all arguments</b> have to be provided by matchers.
 *
 * E.g: (example shows verification but the same applies to stubbing):
 * </p>
 *
 * <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>any()</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 to static type safety imposed by java compiler.
 * The consequence is that you cannot use <code>any()</code>, <code>eq()</code> methods outside of verified/stubbed method.
 * </p>
 *
 * <h1>Additional matchers</h1>
 * <p>
 * The class {@link AdditionalMatchers} offers rarely used matchers, although they can be useful, when
 * it is useful to combine multiple matchers or when it is useful to negate a matcher necessary.
 * </p>
 *
 * <h1>Custom Argument ArgumentMatchers</h1>
 * <p>
 * It is important to understand the use cases and available options for dealing with non-trivial arguments
 * <b>before</b> implementing custom argument matchers. This way, you can select the best possible approach
 * for given scenario and produce highest quality test (clean and maintainable).
 * Please read on in the javadoc for {@link ArgumentMatcher} to learn about approaches and see the examples.
 * </p>
