```
DependencyDescriptor mediate(DependencyDescriptor dd)
```
    Mediates the given DependencyDescriptor according to this ModuleDescriptor.
    This method gives the opportunity to a ModuleDescriptor to override dependency version information of any of its transitive dependencies, since it is called by dependency resolvers before actually resolving a dependency.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dd - the dependency descriptor which should be mediated.
    
    Returns:
    
    the mediated DependencyDescriptor, or the original DependencyDescriptor if no mediation is required by this ModuleDescriptor.
