+Interface Proxifying
+--------------------
+
+Under the hood, proxies generated to lazily load services inherit from the class
+used by the service. However, sometimes this is not possible at all (e.g. because
+the class is `final`_ and can not be extended) or not convenient.
+
+To workaround this limitation, you can configure a proxy to only implement
+specific interfaces.

+            ;
+        };
+
+The virtual `proxy`_ injected into other services will only implement the
+specified interfaces and will not extend the original service class, allowing to
+lazy load services using `final`_ classes. You can configure the proxy to
+implement multiple interfaces by adding new "proxy" tags.
+
+.. tip::
+
+    This feature can also act as a safe guard: given that the proxy does not
+    extend the original class, only the methods defined by the interface can
+    be called, preventing to call implementation specific methods. It also
+    prevents injecting the dependency at all if you type-hinted a concrete
+    implementation instead of the interface.
