-Expects that no exception is thrown during evaluation of the expression.
+Expects that an exception is thrown that, when converted to a string, matches the _string_ or _string matcher_ provided (see next section for Matchers).

+e.g.
+```cpp
+REQUIRE_THROWS_WITH( openThePodBayDoors(), Contains( "afraid" ) && Contains( "can't do that" ) );
+REQUIRE_THROWS_WITH( dismantleHal(), "My mind is going" );

 Please note that the `THROW` family of assertions expects to be passed a single expression, not a statement or series of statements. If you want to check a more complicated sequence of operations, you can use a C++11 lambda function.

+Currently only string matchers are implemented and consist of: `Contains`, `Equals`, `StartsWith` and `EndsWith`.

+Matchers can be composed using `&&`, `||` and `!` operators.
