Combined REQUIRE_THROWS_AS and REQUIRE_THROWS_WITH

[joto]

It would be nice to have a macro that combines REQUIRE_THROWS_AS and REQUIRE_THROWS_WITH allowing to check the exception type and message in one go.

There are more requests for this, so it might happen.

The question is, what the API should be like... the obvious option would be REQUIRE_THROWS_WITH_AS(expr, exception-type, matcher), but the name might not be a good idea and I am not sure whether the API couldn't be better if done differently.

You could add an optional third arg

REQUIRE_THROWS_AS(stuff(), std::runtime_error, "failed");

At first I was going to suggest changing the second arg from exception type to matcher, plus the ability to pass an exception object instead, as in REQUIRE_THROWS_AS(stuff(), std::runtime_error("failed")) (which would construct what()-equality matcher), but that would probably be both more difficult to implement pre-C++11 and break existing code.

I am going to close this issue in favour of #641. See latest post there for an update.
