Support @Test capabilities (expected Exception)

1.0.0-beta1

The usage is really neat but I was hoping the following would succeed
@test(expected=Exception.class)
@testwith({"A B", "A+B", "A!B"})
public void junkNameFails(String junkName) { ...
It doesn't and there is no equivalent so I'm back to try-catch-or-fail()
Same could be said for the timeout option though I suspect it's less commonly used.

Without looking at the code or possibilities in JUnit, it would be preferable to hijack an existing @test annotation (as above) than to simply repeat its functions. That way @testwith stays pure to parameterisation.

i didn't plan to support this feature because there is a lot of arguing that it shouldn't be used.
see: http://alexruiz.developerblogs.com/?p=1530 and https://code.google.com/p/catch-exception/ however, there are some small problems with catch-exception library so i will reconsider this feature. but i don't think it will be added very soon
