Using a non type variable to a type variable give bad error message

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Using a non type variable to a type variable like in:

Date date = mock()

Give:
java.lang.ClassCastException:
org.gmock.internal.recorder.ReturnMethodRecorder cannot be cast to
java.lang.String

Which make it really difficult to tell what is happening.

The only way to fix this bug is, not allowing recording expectation of the 
method
"toString()" in Java, that is, if the "toString()" method is called from the 
Java
side and it is in record state, invoke a default implementation (e.g. return 
"Mock
for SomeClass").

It is a rare case, so it is acceptable.
