mockcompose to generate mocking implementation for Go classes, interfaces and functions
Part of reason that I went ahead to build mockcompose was for to improve test coverage of an existing project without major refactoring. Another reason is for completeness of a mocking tool to cover all possible aspects in unit-test scenarios that Go technically allows. It was meant to use it with Go best practices in mind.
