/**
 * To execute steps in a feature file the steps must be
 * connected to executable code. This can be done by annotating
 * a method with a cucumber or regular expression.
 * 
 * The parameters extracted from the step by the expression
 * along with the data table or doc string argument are provided as
 * arguments to the method.
 * 

 * The types of the parameters are determined by the cucumber or
 * regular expression.
 * 
 * The type of the data table or doc string argument is determined
 * by the argument name value. When none is provided cucumber will
 * attempt to transform the data table or doc string to the type
 * of the last argument.
