A modern, C++-native, test framework for unit-tests, TDD and BDD - using C++14, C++17 and later (C++11 support is in v2.x branch, and C++03 on the Catch1.x branch)

This seems to give about 15% speedup when compiling tests using GCC.
The tradeoff is that under certain circumstances, there is a chance for
false negative result, when the expression under test throws exception
and the test code catches it before it gets to the test runner.
Example:
``` cpp
TEST_CASE("False negative") {
try {
REQUIRE(throws() == "");
} catch (...) {}
}
```
This test case will succeed, reporting no assertions checked, instead of
failing as it would with `CATCH_CONFIG_FAST_COMPILE` disabled. However,
just removing the try-catch block inside client's code will fix this, so
it is worthwhile.
This change does not apply to CHECK* macros, because these are currently
specified as continuing on exception and thus need the local try-catch
to work as intended.

What's the Catch?
Catch stands for C++ Automated Test Cases in Headers and is a multi-paradigm automated test framework for C++ and Objective-C (and, maybe, C). It is implemented entirely in a set of header files, but is packaged up as a single header for extra convenience.
