/**
* This @tag is used for methods in the OverrideMocks that
* cannot be handled with inheritance.
* A typical example is "final" methods.
*
* <p>
* These methods will be handled like they were static
* replacement ones: ie, same method name, but static, and
* with class instance as first input parameter
*
* <p>
* Note: such tag cannot be used in unspecialized EvoSuiteMocks,
* eg when one wants to mock one single method instead of using
* a full-blown StaticReplacementMock.
* Why?
* First, we want to be sure that we mocked all methods (eg to check
* if by error we missed one, or new Java version introduces new
* ones).
* Second, a mock class could be used directly in the test as input data,
* and so its full signature should be available (as the mocked class would
* not be accessible)
*
* <p>
* WARNING: should only be used on mocking _static_ methods
