Hi,

The following patches move and extend the functionality of Fuzzy
objects. This is necessary to use them from within integration tests.

-1 to the idea.
I'm not a fan of the Fuzzy objects; they basically exist so that you can use regex matching in the Declarative tests. As you've probably noticed Fuzzy is quite specific to the framework and its test suite -- see the strict bytes/unicode separation and the amount of changes it takes to tear them out.

I'm also not a fan of having a generic "Match anything using some rules" object where everybody adds behavior specific to their use case. Each addition increases the complexity and number of corner cases, and the complete intended functionality can never be achieved.

Using regular expressions directly should actually be easier and less error-prone in most cases.
If you disagree, I'd like to see your use case.
