/**
 * Helper to make a fake implementation of any {@link Messages} interface via
 * reflection, for use in JUnit tests. (This will not work in GWTTestCase.) All
 * calls to the returned object return the method name followed by the passed
 * parameters as a list surrounded by [].
 * <p>
 * Note that the default message text is very consciously not made available
 * through the fake, to help tests ensure that specific translations of
 * localized text are not relied upon.
 * <p>
 * Sample use:
 *
 * <pre>interface MyMessages extends Messages {
 *   &#64;DefaultMessage("Isn''t this the fakiest?")
 *   &#64;Description("A sample message to be tested.")
 *   String myMessage();
 * }
 *
 * public void testSimple() {
 *  MyMessages messages = FakeMessagesMaker.create(MyMessages.class);
 *  assertEquals("myMessage", messages.myMessage());
 * }
 * </pre>
