* They are used in the implementation of unused stubbings warnings ({@link org.mockito.quality.MockitoHint}).
*
* Make sure you remove the listener when the job is complete, see {@link #removeListener(MockitoListener)}.
* Currently the listeners list is thread local so you need to remove listener from the same thread otherwise
* remove is ineffectual.
* In typical scenarios, it is not a problem, because adding & removing listeners typically happens in the same thread.
*
* If you are trying to add the listener but a listener of the same type was already added (and not removed)
* this method will throw {@link RedundantListenerException}.
* This is a safeguard to ensure users actually remove the listeners via {@link #removeListener(MockitoListener)}.
* We do not anticipate the use case where adding the same listener type multiple times is useful.
* If this safeguard is problematic, please contact us via Mockito issue tracker.
*
* For usage examples, see Mockito codebase.
* If you have ideas and feature requests about Mockito listeners API
* we are very happy to hear about it via our issue tracker or mailing list.
