This extension provides the following features:

* Interprets `Foo|\Mockery\MockInterface` in phpDoc so that it results in an intersection type instead of a union type.
* `Mockery::mock()` and `Mockery::spy()` return an intersection type (see the [detailed explanation of intersection types](https://phpstan.org/blog/union-types-vs-intersection-types)) so that the returned object can be used as both the mock object and the mocked class object.
* `shouldReceive()`, `allows()` and `expects()` methods can be called on the mock object and they work as expected.
* `Mockery::mock()`, `Mockery::spy()`, and `Mockery::namedMock()` return an intersection type (e.g. `Foo&MockInterface`) so that the mock can be used as both the mocked class and a mock object. See the [detailed explanation of intersection types](https://phpstan.org/blog/union-types-vs-intersection-types).
* Interprets `Foo|\Mockery\MockInterface` in phpDoc so that it results in an intersection type instead of a union type. This can be disabled by setting the `mockery.convertUnionToIntersectionType` parameter to `false`.
* `shouldReceive()`, `shouldNotReceive()`, `shouldHaveReceived()`, `shouldNotHaveReceived()`, `allows()`, and `expects()` methods are understood on mock objects.
* `makePartial()` and `shouldAllowMockingProtectedMethods()` return `static`, preserving the intersection type for chained calls.
* Alias (`alias:`) and overload (`overload:`) mock prefixes are handled.
* Partial mock syntax (`ClassName[methodName]`) is supported.
* Multiple interfaces passed as comma-separated strings or as separate arguments are resolved.
* Constructor argument arrays passed to `mock()` are handled correctly.
