My take would be that whilst the syntax for expressing the 
specifications is OK (possibly needs a little more thought) I didn't 
like the idea of exceptions being thrown if the spec is broken.

I'd much prefer a interface, that would better integrate with Boost 
Test for its error reporting, and it would avoid all that duplication 
in try/catch blocks and make it more readable (the whole point :-)

Personally I don't mind getting lots of errors, in the non perfect 
test suites I end up writing, multiple errors can help 'factor out' 
the likely bugs I've written.
