/**
 * Wraps an existing bean in a Spock spy.
 * 
 * Inspired by Springs {@code @SpyBean}, but adapted to Spock semantics.
 * 

 * Example: 
 *   @SpringBootTest // @ContextConfiguration works also
 *   class ExampleTests extends Specification {
 *     @SpyBean
 *     Service spiedOnService
 *   }
 *   
 * 
 * Note, that like {@code @SpyBean} this will modify your {@code ApplicationContext}
 * an thus will prevent its reuse for other specs.
 * 

 * Only works on fields defined inside a Specification.
 * The field must have the type of the bean to spy upon, {@code def} or {@code Object}
 * fields don't work and will cause an error.
 * Furthermore, there must be an existing bean to wrap, otherwise an error will be thrown.
 * Also, the field must not use an initializer (e.g., {@code Service spiedOnService = Spy()}).
 * 
 * Requires at least Spring 4.3.3 to work properly, in earlier versions it should be
 * ignored silently.
