Assumptions are in the box!

If you expect your test case to fail unless a given condition is met, you can

�assumptions.

For example, when your test case depends on the availability of a certain
�database you can write

� �testBlob
� � � �self assumeThat: Database default = DatabaseWithBlobs.
� � � �...

if the assumption is true, the test case is run as a normal test case. If
�however the assumption is false, the test case is *not* run but still marked
�as passed. This is supposed to replace conditional #expectedFailures in the
�new SUnit.

Typically, assumptions are put at the begin of a test case. However, you can
�put assumptions anywhere. The running tests case is aborted as soon as the
�first failing assumption is reached.

PS regarding the naming: the message #assumeThat: has been preferred over a
�simple #assume: to make confusions with a simple #assert: less likely.
