/**
 * Intercepts calls on an interface on its way to the target. These
 * are nested "on top" of the target.
 *
 * The user should implement the {@link #invoke(MethodInvocation)}
 * method to modify the original behavior. E.g. the following class
 * implements a tracing interceptor (traces all the calls on the
 * intercepted method(s)):
 *
 * 
 * class TracingInterceptor implements MethodInterceptor {
 *   Object invoke(MethodInvocation i) throws Throwable {
 *     System.out.println("method "+i.getMethod()+" is called on "+
 *                        i.getThis()+" with args "+i.getArguments());
 *     Object ret=i.proceed();
 *     System.out.println("method "+i.getMethod()+" returns "+ret);
 *     return ret;
 *   }
 * }
