<code>with_mock()</code> and <code>local_mock()</code> are superseded in favour of
<code>with_mocked_bindings()</code> and <code>local_mocked_bindings()</code>.
These works by using some C code to temporarily modify the mocked function
in place. This is abusive of R's internals, which makes it dangerous, and
no longer recommended.
