/**
 * Message interceptors are used to intercept messages before they are sent or received by
 * {@link AbstractMessageEndpoint message endpoints}.
 *
 * 
 *     MessageInterceptors will usually be chained using a {@link InterceptorChain}.
 * 
 * 
 *     A {@code MessageInterceptor} can be used in different ways like, for example:
 * 
 * 
 *     Logging
 *     Calculating Metrics
 *     Wire Taps
 *     {@link MessageFilter Message Filters}
 * 
 * 
 *     ...and many other.
