/**
* Trait providing an implicit conversion that allows clues to be placed after a block of code.
*
*
* You can use the withClue construct provided by Assertions, which is
* extended by every style trait in ScalaTest, to add extra information to reports of failed or canceled tests.
* The withClue from Assertions places the "clue string" at the front, both
* in the code and in the resulting message:
*
*
* withClue("This is a prepended clue;") {
* 1 + 1 should equal (3)
* }
*
*
*
* The above expression will yield the failure message:
*
*
*
* This is a prepended clue; 2 did not equal 3
*
*
*
* If you mix in this trait, or import its members via its companion object, you can alternatively place
* the clue string at the end, like this:
*
*
*
* { 1 + 1 should equal (3) } withClue "now the clue comes after"
*
*
*
* The above expression will yield the failure message:
*
*
*
* 2 did not equal 3 now the clue comes after
*
*
*
* If no space is already present, either at the beginning of the clue string or at the end
* of the current message, a space will be placed between the two, unless the clue string
* starts with one of the punctuation characters: comma (,), period (.),
* or semicolon (;). For example, the failure message in the above example
* includes an extra space inserted between 3 and now.
*
*
*
* By contrast this code, which has a clue string starting with comma:
*
*
*
* { 1 + 1 should equal (3) } withClue ", now the clue comes after"
*
*
*
* Will yield a failure message with no extra inserted space:
*
*
*
* 2 did not equal 3, now the clue comes after
*
*
*
* The withClue method will only append the clue string to the detail
* message of exception types that mix in the ModifiableMessage trait.
* See the documentation for ModifiableMessage for more
* information.
*
*
*
* Note: the reason this functionality is not provided by Assertions directly, like the
* prepended withClue construct, is because appended clues require an implicit conversion.
* ScalaTest only gives you one implicit conversion by default in any test class to minimize the
* potential for conflicts with other implicit conversions you may be using. All other implicit conversions,
* including the one provided by this trait, you must explicitly invite into your code through inheritance
* or an import.

* Executes the block of code passed as the constructor parameter to this Clueful, and, if it

* character or one of the punctuation characters: comma (,),
* period (.), or semicolon (;), one space will be added
* between it and the existing detail message (unless the detail message is
* not defined).
*
*
* This method allows you to add more information about what went wrong that will be
* reported when a test fails or cancels. For example, this code:
*
*
*
* { 1 + 1 should equal (3) } withClue ", not even for very large values of 1"
*
*
*
* Would yield a TestFailed exception whose message would be:
*
*
*
* 2 did not equal 3, not even for very large values of 1
*
*
* @throws NullArgumentException if the passed clue is null
