/**
 * Supertrait for Messaging typeclasses.
 *
 * 
 * Trait Messaging is a typeclass trait for objects that can be queried for message.
 * Objects of type T for which an implicit Messaging[T] is available can be used
 * with the should have message syntax.
 * You can enable the have message matcher syntax on your own
 * type U by defining a Messaging[U] for the type and making it available implicitly.
 * 
 *
 * 
 * ScalaTest provides an implicit Messaging instance for java.lang.Throwable and
 * arbitary object with message(), message, getMessage() or getMessage
 * method in the Messaging companion object.
