slightly unexpected behavior of thrown()

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This might be the limitation I'm not aware of but I thought I would share :)

given:
def exc = new GradleException("Hey!")
parserMock.parse("foo") >> { throw exc }

when:
usesParser.parse("foo")

then:
thrown() == ext //does not work
thrown(GradleException) == ext //does not work

def e = thrown(GradleException)
e == exc //works

Works as designed. Allowing "thrown()" inside an expression would be 
problematic in terms of semantics and implementation. Don't you get an error 
saying this isn't allowed?

Ok I see. No problem.

>Don't you get an error saying this isn't allowed?

Not really, I get the exact exception the code is throwing. So this might be 
something worth improving.

Using thrown() in a way/position where it is not allowed now results in a 
compilation error with a decent message.
