Yeah, you weren't. That was Bjørn Roald. Although you did claim some benefits to standardization, which I replied to.

Well, I don’t think I was proposing it for standardization. Not that I do not think it may be worth it down the road. But for now it is most likely far from being ready for that. What I am proposing is that it may be worth exploring this type of library for possible future standardization, and that is why I think it may be worth considering for Boost. I will see if I can spend some more time with it, do some testing, and see if it affect my opinion. I agree with you Vinnie that it does not provide much functionally over alternatives. I think you only see it as syntactic sugar what I see as a potential path to something new in standard C++. Similar technicues may be useful not only unit test, but also for diagnostic logging or other tools. — Bjørn
