/**
 * JsOverlay is used to add new helper APIs to existing JavaScript types. This is achieved by adding
 * the new method to @JsType(isNative=true) and marking it with this annotation.
 * <p>
 * Note that the JsOverlay methods cannot be called from JavaScript, cannot override any existing
 * methods and needs to be marked as final. This is because underneath, the original type is not
 * modified and the method is simply turned into a static dispatch.
