Annotating Expectations?

[Scott Lowrey]

Wondering if anybody would be interested in annotated expectations.  The 
way I see it working is that a text box would be added to the "Set 
Expectation" dialog box.  The text would be saved in the expectations 
file (?).  This would allow the user to comment on the reason for the 
expected outcome.

I'd use this, say, to enter some background on why one of my tests is 
expected to have an "Error" outcome.  The test is broken but I can't fix 
it right now and I'd like to comment on the reason for the breakage.   
Later (weeks/months/years), I can run the tests, load the expectations, 
see that everything is normal, and then click on the broken test's 
expectation to find out what the heck I was thinking when I decided an 
Error was OK.

Thoughts?
