/**
* This interface is used to specify that this class is a "override" mock, ie
* a class that extends the mocked one, and does mocking by @Override the parent's methods.
* This type of mocking might not be possible when mocked class is final, no accessible
* constructor, etc.
*
* <p>
* <b>IMPORTANT</b>: each OverrideMock implementation should handle rollback to non-mocked functionality.
* Such check can be based on {@link MockFramework#isEnabled()}.
* Automated rollback in the instrumentation itself cannot be done, as we cannot change the signature
* of an instrumented class based on flag. Eg: "class Foo extends File" will be replaced by "class Foo extends MockFile",
* and we cannot change it back afterwards.
