<div>Matchers are an in-language DSL. We use meta-programming techniques to be able to contruct readable expressions without the need to spell out the types all the time. This leads to the matcher constructions being boths free-standing functions and call-able classes.</div>
<div>Internally, we've used CamelCase with an upper case first letter for the matchers, but I'm fine with changing it either way.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div>
