Could we do something like throw new expectation($expects, $message);
Er, T_EXPECT will be essentially a clone of Java and Python's assert statement, but not called assert because of the existing assert() function (and backwards-compatibility is PHP's middle name).
Unless you mean the similar name. Well, I don't think "exception" and "expect" can be confused (though as someone who used to use Python, I keep reading this as "except", Python's equivalent to "catch"), though "ExpectationException" might be confusing. I think we should name it "AssertionException".
