SpectatorContext
Inherits Reference / Object
Base class that all test cases run in.
This type is used to store all test case contexts as a single type.
The instance must be downcast to the correct type before calling a context method.
This type is intentionally outside the Spectator module.
The reason for this is to prevent name collision when using the DSL to define a spec.
Instance methods
Produces a dummy string to represent the context as a string.
This prevents the default behavior, which normally stringifies instance variables.
Due to the sheer amount of types Spectator can create
and that the Crystal compiler instantiates a #to_s and/or #inspect for each of those types,
an explosion in method instances can be created.
The compile time is drastically reduced by using a dummy string instead.
