You right. I never got to document this component. This was my attempt on 
implementing mock support in boost.test. In my opinion (obviously biased) it 
is still might be better than anything else I've seen in other places. That 
said, I will need to decide what to do about this. Either finish it and make 
it in full features mocking library or just adopt something else for the same 
purpose.
