Enhancement: ExceptionClassMatcher.like should take a more specific type

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  foo() must throwA[MyException] like { case m => m.myMethod() == 42 } 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

  The above code won't compile, because like takes a
PartialFunction[Throwable, Boolean] as parameter. I'd suggest that
PartialFunction[E, Boolean] would be expected, removing the need for
pattern matching on the type of the exception.

  Currently you are required to write:
   ... like { case m: MyException => m.myMethod() == 42 }
  which increases clutter.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

  2.8.0.Beta1_1.6.2

Please provide any additional information below.

That should work in principle, see

issl/scalasnippets/ExceptionSpecification.scala
for a rough demo.
