So looks like we need a new name ?? Ideas ??

abstract EXPRESSION

wat?


abstract is already a keyword, so no BC.

abstract is not concrete so alludes a bit to the
might-be-or-might-not-be-checked nature of the test

abstract is the name for the "short summary" intro part of scientific
papers, and these conditions are kind of a summary of what is known
(preconditions) and concluded (postconditions).

Ah, ok well. I'd rather go for expected() or except() then...


Expected appears to be the most suitable solution suggested so far ...

I was following along with the abstract suggestion, I thought that was pretty well thought out, but a bit hard to explain why we are re-using the abstract keyword for something that is completely unrelated to abstract classes all the same ...

So for those that see the problem does Expected work around it ??

Cheers
Joe
