Can we print a message _and_ exit with fatal?

[alexpanter]

Problem description

Given a test that if fails should abort all further testing. This is attained with >> fatal:

bool test_create_camera() { ... }

"camera_tests"_test = []{
    expect(test_create_camera()) >> fatal) << "Camera was nullptr!";
    // more tests here...
};

If I cannot create a camera, all the next tests should be skipped. And I would also like to get the message "Camera was nullptr!" printed. However, I experience that >> fatal simply aborts the program without printing my message.

Instead, I can use this bit of code to do what I want - but it seems more complicated than should be necessary, and it doesn't allow me to forward arbitrary strings to std::cout:

expect(eq(test_create_camera(), "Camera was nullptr!"_b) >> fatal);

I had the same issue and this feature has been added in #574. Please look at the documentation since the syntax is slightly different.
