+   * @ngdoc method
+   * @name  $httpBackend#matchLatestDefinition
+   * @description
+   * This method can be used to change which mocked responses `$httpBackend` returns, when defining
+   * them with {@link ngMock.$httpBackend#when $httpBackend.when()} (and shortcut methods).
+   * By default, `$httpBackend` returns the first definition that matches. When setting
+   * `$http.matchLatestDefinition(true)`, it will use the last response that matches, i.e. the
+   * one that was added last.
+   *
+   * ```js
+   * hb.when('GET', '/url1').respond(200, 'content', {});
+   * hb.when('GET', '/url1').respond(201, 'another', {});
+   * hb('GET', '/url1'); // receives "content"
+   *
+   * $http.matchLatestDefinition(true)
+   * hb('GET', '/url1'); // receives "another"
+   *
+   * hb.when('GET', '/url1').respond(201, 'onemore', {});
+   * hb('GET', '/url1'); // receives "onemore"
+   * ```
+   *
+   * This is useful if a you have a default response that is overriden inside specific tests.
+   *
+   * Note that different from config methods on providers, `matchLatestDefinition()` can be changed
+   * even when the application is already running.
+   *
+   * @param  {Boolean=} value value to set, either `true` or `false`. Default is `false`.
+   *                          If omitted, it will return the current value.
+   * @return {$httpBackend|Boolean} self when used as a setter, and the current value when used
+   *                                as a getter
