Hi all,

I'm trying to add Collection and Array matchers to UsingMatchers.

This is now a really, really big class!

I'd like to split it up and delegate to the package-accessible splits, 
because this will make it easier to maintain.

The split I envisage at the moment is:

CustomMatcher (move to top level)
UsingEqualityMatchers (eq, isNull, isA)
UsingCollectionMatchers (collectionContaining)
UsingArrayMatchers (arrayContaining)
UsingLogicalMatchers (and, or)
UsingStringMatchers (contains, startsWith, endsWith)
UsingExceptions (pending, fail, todo, runAndCatch)
Ensure (ensureThat)

I think this will also be far easier to extend than what we have now, even 
if we do end up rewriting Hamcrest.

I have also added the describe(Object arg) method to CustomMatcher, which 
returns arg.toString() by default. This allows me to do neat things like 
"Expected a collection containing <4> but got an ArrayList [5, 6, 7]".

What do you think?

Cheers,
Liz.
