Hello,

I'm generating deftest's using a helper macro that takes a variety of test 
parameters and though the tests function correctly, the output of a failed 
test is not exactly right. The expect value is shown as the un-evaluated 
test form, and the actual value is shown as the result of evaluating the 
test form. I realize 'is' is a macro itself, but I'm not quite sure how to 
expand or escape the guts of my macro to make the output match that of a 
normal test.

Whereas a normal test failure looks like this (some output elided):

user=> (deftest normal-test
  #_=>   (is (= [0 1 5] (range 3))))
#'user/normal-test
user=> (run-tests)

FAIL in (normal-test)

expected: [0 1 5]
  actual: ((0 1 2)) 

A failure for a deftest defined within a macro comes out like this:

user=> (defmacro defnesttest [v]
  #_=>   `(deftest nested-test
  #_=>      (is (= [0 1 5] ~v))))
#'user/defnesttest
user=> (defnesttest (range 3))
#'user/nested-test
user=> (run-tests)

FAIL in (nested-test)

expected: (clojure.core/= [0 1 5] (range 3))
  actual: false

Thanks for any insight,
m.
