Add shortcut to (un)orphanize/shunt a mock method

[marmotz]

Is it possible to add shortcut like this:

$mock = \mock\My\Mock;
// ... tests and other stuf...
$this->calling($mock)->orphanize('myMethod');
// shortcut to $this->calling($mock)->myMethod = function() {};

And, why not add also:

$this->calling($mock)->unorphanize('myMethod');

I use $this->calling() syntax, but if you want to create/use an other one... :) I use orphanize as method name, but if you want to use shunt or an other one... :)

All orphanized, shunted and overloaded methods was reset after mock class generation, so i think that your proposal is useless (see https://github.com/atoum/atoum/blob/master/classes/mock/generator.php#L197 for more informations).

As written in my 2nd comment of my 1st code block, the purpose is to create a shortcut to $this->calling($mock)->myMethod = function() {}, not to shunt a future generated mock but to shunt a method to an existing mock for the next test to run.

Oh sorry for the mistake. It's not technically possible to do that because the mocked class can have a method with name orphanize or unorphanize. However, you can replace $this->calling($mock)->myMethod = function() {} by $this->calling($mock)->myMethod = null.

So, you want something like $this->calling($mock)->myMethod->doNothing() ? And you want to be able to do something like $this->calling($mock)->myMethod->doSomething() ? So you can be happy because it's now possible since commit 3ecffa80cff4c8bbfa21a39160d79f4349248dec!
