Assertions, Assumptions and Matcher

Assertions, Assumptions and Matcher can be accessed by their environment local assert/assume/match or their references in cubictest.

The statements are constructed by using one of these, a selection of optional modifiers for a natural description, optional negation modifiers, and the assertion statement itself.

[assert|assume|match].[(is|are|was|has|does)(.|_)][(no|not)(.|_)]<expectation>

For example:

assert.equal("a", "a")
assert.is.equal(1, 1)
assume.are_not_equal(os.time(), now)

Modifiers and Expectations are case insensitive and can be chained using either . or _.

This allows us using lua keywords like true, false, nil or not without causing syntax errors:

assert.is.Not.True()
assert.is_not.True()
assert.is_not_true()
assert.is_not.True()
assert.is.NOT_True()
-- avoid:
assert.is.not.true()
