+ * 
+ * To use first use the coerce static method to indicate the object you want to
+ * do Duck Typing for, then specify an interface to the to method which you want
+ * to coerce the type to, e.g:
+ * 
+ * public interface Foo { void aMethod(); } class Bar { ... public void

+ * DuckType.coerce(bar).to(Foo.class); foo.aMethod();
