These two could hide behind an interface, but I don't know how the interface would work for the variadic case coming next (from D1427).
The basic idea for that one is that on getTypedMatcher<T> it will convert all the inner matchers to Matcher<T>, then create a VariadicOperatorMatcherInterface<T> with them and return it.
If I try to use interfaces, I will need two: one for the payload of the matcher, and one for the operations from <T>. It can be done, but it might be messier.
I'll give it a try to see how it looks.
