.IN_SEQUENCE(seq1) // must be first match for seq1
.TIMES(AT_LEAST(1)); // can be called several times
FORBID_CALL(m, bar(0)); // but m.bar(0) is not allowed
REQUIRE_CALL(m, bar("word")) // expect one call to m.bar(std::string)
.RETURN(true)
.IN_SEQUENCE(seq2); // must be first match for seq2
REQUIRE_CALL(m, foo(gt(2), _)) // expect call to foo(int,std::string&)

.IN_SEQUENCE(seq1, seq2) // last for both seq1 and seq2
.SIDE_EFFECT(_2 = "cat") // and set param string to "cat"
.RETURN(true);
interface_func(&m);
// all the above expectations must be fulfilled here
}Contributions are most welcome. For new functionality, please file an issue as an enhancement request first, to get a discussion going about how to best implement it. Also for bugfixes, it is good to file an issue, so that others can see what the problem is and when it's solved. Internal changes are normally not mentioned in the ChangeLog - it should typically reflect what a user can see (however, performance improvements and silencing warnings are visible for users.) Feel free to add your name to the copyright blurb.
