Towards typesafe native Scala mocks

Borachio, my native mocking library for Scala, works well enough but has a couple of annoying limitations:

- It can only mock functions and traits (interfaces). No support for classes, companion objects, constructors, etc. etc. etc.

- It’s not typesafe.

I've been working on a compiler plugin to address those limitations and, although I’m far from done, I’ve made enough progress to be worth reporting.

There's a writeup of on my blog:

I'd be very interested in feedback. If anyone who knows more about compiler internals and/or plugins than I do fancies casting an eye over the plugin and letting me know about anything that could be done better, I'd be very grateful indeed.
