/**
 * When used with {@link WithSecurityContextTestExecutionListener} this
 * annotation can be added to a test method to emulate running with an anonymous
 * user. The {@link SecurityContext} that is used will contain an
 * {@link AnonymousAuthenticationToken}. This is useful when a user wants to run
 * a majority of tests as a specific user and wishes to override a few methods
 * to be anonymous. For example:
 *
 * <pre>
 * <code>
 * @WithMockUser
 * public class SecurityTests {
 *     @Test
 *     @WithAnonymousUser
 *     public void runAsAnonymous() {
 *         // ... run as an anonymous user ...
 *     }
 *
 *     // ... lots of tests ran with a default user ...
 * }
 * </code>
 * </pre>
