It's pretty frustrating that I, a regular old Clojure user who likes writing tests, can't mix and match tools from existing testing libraries. Seriously, there's 4 major ones (clojure.test, speclj, midje, expectations) and they each do mostly the same things but vary slightly in some areas. I can't use speclj's around-all feature with expectations' (expect) function, or midje's auto-runner with clojure.test's (is) assertions. Or lein-difftest with midje, expectations, or speclj.
So let's fix that.
