Sorry about the slow response, but I have been on leave and out of email contact for the last couple of weeks.
The work I did that Mike is referring to is to automatically generate assert, assertNot, verify, and verifyNot commands from any functions of the form getXXX() and getXXX(arg). My initial objective was to also automatically generate store, waitFor, and waitForNot commands from all of these methods, but I have not got around to it yet. The framework currently also automatically generates "get commands" from these methods, but I do not think anything can actually use "get commands" yet. If someone is interested in posting a patch that lets you do this, then I imagine there would be lots of people interested in it!
