BDD Assertions for PHPUnit and Codeception.

This is small wrapper for PHPUnit assertions that is aimed to make tests more readable and easier to maintain. With BDD assertions influenced by Chai, Jasmine, and RSpec your assertions will look a bit more like natural language.

Most of the original work was done by [@DavertMik](http://github.com/DavertMik) and [@Ragazzo](http://github.com/Ragazzo) in the [Codeception/Verify](http://github.com/Codeception/Verify) repo. This version provides an alternate API and feature set, while sticking to the original BDD philosophy.
