BTW, is midje setup to add different formatters (for reports)? It used to ride on top of clojure.test but with lein-midje I suspect it now has its own reporting functionality. Anyways, the reason why I bring it up is because rspec has a number of formatters and one of them the "nested" formatter which is really nice for tests like this. (It basically prints the tests out in similar intentation as they appear in the file.)
Hi Ben,
Would you mind drawing up a gist of the precise syntax and resulting report
output that you would ideally like to see?

Looking good... this would fit well into my current use of midje. Right
now I've been doing the same thining, more or less, but without explicit
support from midje. How hard would it be to allow for docstrings in the
`provided` (and maybe background) forms as well? At times I find myself
doing things like `(fact ... (provided ; that blah blah errors out ...))`.

Currently no way to configure formatters. But sounds very doable. I'd
love to see an issue on github, showing exactly how it might work, ... how
do you configure which format? How does each format lool, etc etc etc
