     * What is 'stubbing'?
     * Stubbing is your when(x).then(y) declaration, e.g. configuring the mock to behave in a specific way,
     * when specific method with specific arguments is invoked on a mock.
     * Typically, stubbing is configuring mock to return X when method Y is invoked.
     * 
     * Why do you need to access stubbings of a mock?
     * In a normal workflow of creation clean tests, there is no need for this API.
     * However, it is useful for advanced users, edge cases or framework integrators.
     * For example, Mockito internally uses this API to report and detect unused stubbings
     * that should be removed from test. Unused stubbings are dead code that needs to be removed
     * (see {@link MockitoHint}).
     * 

     * Manipulating the collection (e.g. by removing, adding elements) is safe and has no effect on the mock.
     * 

     * This method throws meaningful exception when object wrapped by MockingDetails is not a mock.

     * You can use this method for debugging,

     * 

     * Content that is printed is subject to change as we discover better ways of presenting important mock information.
