+/**
+ * Constructs a facade for the given object, containing only the named methods.
+ *
+ * For each method named in <code>aMethods</code>, a wrapper function will be added to the facade.
+ * When called, the wrapper function calls the method with the same name in the original <code>oObject</code>,
+ * passing all its call parameters to it without modification. A return value of the original method will
+ * be returned to the caller. Before returning it, values of type <code>sap.ui.base.Object</code> will be
+ * replaced by their facades, calling {@link sap.ui.base.Object#getInterface getInterface} on them.
+ *
+ * It is possible to create different facades exposing different sets of methods for the same object,
+ * but as <code>getInterface</code> can only return one of those interfaces, the special handling of the
+ * return values doesn't support multiple facades per object.
+ *
+ *
+ * @class A class whose instances act as a facade for other objects.
+ *
+ * <b>Note:</b> If a class returns a facade in its constructor, only the defined functions will be visible,
+ * no internals of the class can be accessed.
