Jay, Imagine there is no Micah or Marick or you, there's only Bob and Alice, two Clojure geeks who have a really big test suite.
If they wrote their whole test suite using clojure.test, they can't use an autorunner unless they rewrite it in one of the other libs. If they wrote their whole test suite using expectations, they can't use difftest unless they rewrite it in clojure.test. If they wrote their whole test suite using speclj, they can't use your (expect) function unless they rewrite the whole thing in expectations. etc. But these libs share mostly the same feature-set with each other. So why do they each re-invent the wheel in a way that make them incompatible with one another? That's the issue I'm trying to solve. Maybe that's not what everyone sees in this. But this is the big win I see in it.
