/**
 * Allows shorthand wrapping of field instances in an spy object.
 * 
 * 
 * Example:
 * 
 * 
 * public class Test{
 *    @Spy Foo spyOnFoo = new Foo();
 *    @Before
 *    public void init(){
 *       MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
 *    }
 *    ...
 * }
 * 
 * 
 * Same as doing:
 * 
 * 
 * Foo spyOnFoo = Mockito.spy(new Foo());
 * 
 * 
 * Warning if you call MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this) in a
 * super class constructor then this will not work. It is because fields
 * in subclass are only instantiated after super class constructor has returned.
 * It's better to use @Before.
