 * Implement new naming policies for names of auxiliary type, interceptor delegate field, renamed origin method, method
   access name, method cache value field. All names are under `sw$` name trait. They are predictable and unchanged after
   re-transform.
+* Fix witness class in springmvc-annotation-5.x-plugin to avoid falling into v3 use cases.
