case class Person(name: String = "Fred", age: Int = 42) {
  def say(words: String*) = words.mkString(" ")
}

val person = Person()
val expect = new Expecty()

// Passing expectations

expect {
  person.name == "Fred"
  person.age * 2 == 84
  person.say("Hi", "from", "Expecty!") == "Hi from Expecty!"
}

// Failing expectation

val word1 = "ping"
val word2 = "pong"

expect {
  person.say(word1, word2) == "pong pong"
}

/*
Output:

java.lang.AssertionError:

|      |   |      |      |
|      |   ping   pong   false
|      ping pong
Person(Fred,42)
*/

// Continue despite failing predicate

val expect2 = new Expecty(failEarly = false)

expect2 {
  person.name == "Frog"
  person.age * 2 == 73
}

/*
Output:

java.lang.AssertionError:
