Alias for StringDescription.toString #11

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
It would be nice to be able to statically import
StringDescription.toString(Matcher), but because the name collides with
Object.toString, it can't be done.  Can we instead create an alias? 
descriptionOf(Matcher)?  asString(Matcher)?

Actually, I think it would be fair to override Object.toString in
BaseMatcher, although I can see API reasons to avoid that.

Good idea. Added StringDescription.asString() and BaseMatcher.toString() - 
which is
now a lot easier because the core API has merged into a single jar.
