      # Dynamically generates a custom matcher that will match
      # a predicate on your class. RSpec provides a couple of these
      # out of the box:
      #
      #   exist (for state expectations)
      #     File.should exist("path/to/file")
      #
      #   an_instance_of (for mock argument matchers)
      #     mock.should_receive(:message).with(an_instance_of(String))
      #
      # == Examples
      #
      #   class Fish
      #     def can_swim?
      #       true
      #     end

      #     predicate_matchers[:swim] = :can_swim?
      #     it "should swim" do
      #       Fish.new.should swim
