     *                                  and append the suffix.
     * @param additionalInterfaces Additional interfaces which should be implemented.
     * @param delegateMethods Methods which should be delegated to the {@code delegateInvocationHandlerClass}
     *                        instead of invoking the original method.
     * @param interceptMethods Methods which should be intercepted (to call interceptors or decorators)
     *                         before invoking the original method.
     * @return The generated proxy class.
