 * Implements a [[ICommand command]] wrapped by an interceptor.
 * It allows to build command call chains. The interceptor can alter execution
 * and delegate calls to a next command, which can be intercepted or concrete.

 *     export class CommandLogger implements ICommandInterceptor {

 *         public getName(command: ICommand): string {
 *             return command.getName();
 *         }
 *               
 *         public async execute(correlationId: string, command: ICommand, args: Parameters): Promise<any> {
 *             console.log("Executed command " + command.getName());
 *             await command.execute(correlationId, args);
 *         }
 *               
 *         private validate(command: ICommand, args: Parameters): ValidationResult[] {
 *             return command.validate(args);
 *         }
 *     }
 *     
 *     let logger = new CommandLogger();
 *     let loggedCommand = new InterceptedCommand(logger, command);
 *     
 *     // Each called command will output: Executed command <command name>
