Given EXPECT( 1==9 || 1==8 );doctest currently gives a false positive (see issue 30), whereas CATCH warns that the expression is 'too complicated' via a static assert.
lest currently gives a compile-time error that doesn't give a hint as to what the problem is:
Visual C++ 2015:
issue-exprdecomp-too-complex.cpp(7): error C2440: 'initializing': cannot convert from 'bool' to 'lest::result'

Perhaps it's a good idea too warn too simplify the expression like CATCH does.
