/**
* Provides ScalaTest's “explicitly DSL,” which facilitates the
* explicit specification of an Equality[T] or a Uniformity[T] where
* Equality[T] is taken implicitly.
*
*
* The Explicitly DSL can be used with the === and !== operators of ScalaUtils
* as well as the should equal, be, contain, and
* === syntax of ScalaTest matchers.
*
*
*
* If you want to customize equality for a type in general, you would likely want to place an
* implicit Equality[T] for that type in scope (or in T's companion object). That implicit
* equality definition will then be picked
* up and used when that type is compared for equality with the equal, be, and
* contain matchers in ScalaTest tests and with
* === in both tests and production code.
* If you just want to use a custom equality for a single comparison, however, you may prefer to pass it explicitly. For
* example, if you have an implicit
* Equality[String] in scope, you can force a comparison to use the default equality with this syntax:
*
*
*
* // In production code:
* if ((result === "hello")(decided by defaultEquality)) true else false
*
* // In tests:
* result should equal ("hello") (decided by defaultEquality)
*
*
*
* The explicitly DSL also provides support for specifying a one-off equality that is based on a normalization. For
* example, ScalaUtils offers a StringNormalizations trait that
* provides methods such as trimmed and lowerCased that return
* Normalization[String] instances that normalize by trimming and lower-casing, respectively. If you bring
* those into scope by mixing in or importing the members of StringNormalizations, you could use the
* explicitly DSL like this:
*
*
*
* // In production code:
* if ((result === "hello")(after being lowerCased)) true else false
*
* // In tests:
* result should equal ("hello") (after being lowerCased and trimmed)
*
*
*
* If you prefer not to use English-like DSLs in your production code, you can alternatively
* not use the Explicitly trait and instead write:
*
*
*
* // To explicitly specify an Equality instance, just specify it:
* if ((result === "hello")(Equality.default)) true else false
*
* // To base an Equality instance on a Uniformity, just
* // call toEquality on it:
* if ((result === "hello")(lowerCased.toEquality)) true else false
