I wanted to be able to use alexandria:set-equal as a comparison operation in FiveAM tests. This turned out to be impossible (except by using test-true), because the is macro did not accept extra, modifier arguments such as
(set-equal x y :test 'equalp)
The reason for this limitation was that FiveAM used a home-brewed matching construct to process
is forms in tests.
In this PR I have replaced FiveAM's home-brew matcher (which was only used in one place in the code) by a dependency on the "trivia" pattern-matching library. This was a judgment call, but figuring out the undocumented list matcher seemed more trouble than it was worth.
