Can't mock toString()

[GoogleCodeExporter]

public class ToStringTest {

    @Test
    public void shouldBeAbleToMockToString() {
        ThingAsAString thing = Mockito.mock(ThingAsAString.class);
        Mockito.stub(thing.toString()).toReturn("Wibble");

        assertEquals("Wibble", thing.toString());
    }

    private static interface ThingAsAString {
        public String toString();
    }
}

Hi TWU!

Mockito doesn't allow to mock toString(), hashCode() and equals() to make sure 
mock
behaves correctly (for example, prints nicely in verification error messages). 
It's
written in limitations on main page.

On the other hand, there is no strong reason why we shouldn't just allow mocking
toString()... We will look at it.
