Vanity Macros

[Robert Ericson]

Hello all,
I just wanted to thank you for the tool.
I discovered it by the screencast at http://vimeo.com/18350401 via
reddit.com.
I liked the macros you used there so much I came up with some of my
own.

#define When(contextName) \
IGLOO_CONTEXT_REGISTRATION(contextName)

#define AndWhen(contextName, baseContextName) \
IGLOO_SUBCONTEXT_REGISTRATION(contextName, baseContextName)

#define It(specName) \
IGLOO_SPEC_REGISTRATION(specName)

That way I can:

When(it_does_not_apply_lotion){
It(gets_the_hose_again){
AssertThat(food,
Is().LessThan(needed_to_loose_weight));
}
}

Thanks Robert! I like what you've done.

I'm thinking we can create a separate header called igloo_spec.h or
something side by side with the core igloo.h.

We could put your behavior-like macros along with the spec-like macros
used in the screencast there.

This should enable us to ship these without risking name collisions
with other code.

I've pushed an experimental version with an alternative syntax.

The describe/it/when macros are available via the igloo_alt.h header:

#include <igloo/igloo_alt.h>
using namespace igloo;

Describe(...)
{
It(...)
};

When(...)
{
It(...)
};

I haven't done anything for the abstract test case (sub context)
aliases yet. I can't come up with a good naming scheme for that.
