036  /**
037   * Returns an instance of {@code interfaceType} that delegates all method calls to the {@code
038   * target} object, enforcing the specified time limit on each call. This time-limited delegation
039   * is also performed for calls to {@link Object#equals}, {@link Object#hashCode}, and {@link
040   * Object#toString}.
041   *
042   * <p>If the target method call finishes before the limit is reached, the return value or
043   * exception is propagated to the caller exactly as-is. If, on the other hand, the time limit is
044   * reached, the proxy will attempt to abort the call to the target, and will throw an {@link
045   * UncheckedTimeoutException} to the caller.
046   *
047   * <p>It is important to note that the primary purpose of the proxy object is to return control to
048   * the caller when the timeout elapses; aborting the target method call is of secondary concern.
049   * The particular nature and strength of the guarantees made by the proxy is
050   * implementation-dependent. However, it is important that each of the methods on the target
051   * object behaves appropriately when its thread is interrupted.
052   *
053   * <p>For example, to return the value of {@code target.someMethod()}, but substitute {@code
054   * DEFAULT_VALUE} if this method call takes over 50 ms, you can use this code:
055   *
056   * <pre>
057   *   TimeLimiter limiter = . . .;
058   *   TargetType proxy = limiter.newProxy(
059   *       target, TargetType.class, 50, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
060   *   try {
061   *     return proxy.someMethod();
062   *   } catch (UncheckedTimeoutException e) {
063   *     return DEFAULT_VALUE;
064   *   }
065   * </pre>
066   *
067   * @param target the object to proxy
068   * @param interfaceType the interface you wish the returned proxy to implement
069   * @param timeoutDuration with timeoutUnit, the maximum length of time that callers are willing to
070   *     wait on each method call to the proxy
071   * @param timeoutUnit with timeoutDuration, the maximum length of time that callers are willing to
072   *     wait on each method call to the proxy

075   *     annotation type, rather than an interface
