// Package assertions contains the implementations for all assertions which
// are referenced in goconvey's `convey` package
// (github.com/smartystreets/goconvey/convey) and gunit (github.com/smartystreets/gunit)
// for use with the So(...) method.
// They can also be used in traditional Go test functions and even in
// applications.
//
// Many of the assertions lean heavily on work done by Aaron Jacobs in his excellent oglematchers library.
// (https://github.com/jacobsa/oglematchers)
// The ShouldResemble assertion leans heavily on work done by Daniel Jacques in his very helpful go-render library.
// (https://github.com/luci/go-render)

// return parameter is the well-formatted message showing why an assertion was incorrect, or
// blank if the assertion was correct.

// if ok, message := So(x, ShouldBeGreaterThan, y); !ok {
// log.Println(message)
