When I test a method using

BOOST_CHECK_NO_THROW( method_to_test() );

and an exception is thrown, it displays that an exception was thrown, but never the exception's message like this:

test.cpp(14): error in "test": incorrect exception my_exception is caught

Is it possible to print the exception message as well, i.e. the string returned by my_exception.what()? my_exception is derived from std::exception and overloads what().
