Binder.bindInterceptor must throws an exception (if intercepted method is final)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently guice not throws any exception if intercept annotated final method:

binder.bindInterceptor(Matchers.any(),
Matchers.annotatedWith(Secure.class), new SecureInterceptor());

Same occurs on private methods,

This is an important BUG that avoid Guice interception, the module not binding
nothing after this occurs without throw any exception...

all looks like ALL_OK but Guice not works

This is known and intentional.

This is necessary to allow users to use Matchers.all() on methods, which 
otherwise 
would be unusable.

But perhaps we want a way to verify that matchers are working as intended.

But, as you say, I would like to check that all interceptors are working fine
(throwing an exception when final and private methods trying intercepted)

  note: if you try to enhaced a final class an exception is throw

Can you provide any mechanism to force exception?

Thank you

It's not that we choose not to support intercepting private & final methods, we 
technically cannot. It's the 
same way that you cannot use a subclass to override these methods.

Sorry for my poor English,

   I don't want intercept private or final methods (as you say, this is technically
impossible). I would like that any attempt to intercept private or final methods
throws an Exception (for example in: Binder.bindInterceptor).

If you let me, I use your words: "I want a way to verify that matchers are 
working as
intended"
