Attachment of decorator is facilitated by using of BOOST_TEST_DECORATOR. Note that you can use any of '+', '-', '*' symbols to attach decorator (and any number of '*'): Is there a difference between them? and if not why do you provide all of them?
Only esthetic. I did not know what users would prefer and there were no problems maintaining all of them.
I'd encourage you to choose just one. Most importantly to prevent confusion when someone who is used to using one symbol reads tests written by someone else and doesn't realise the different symbol they use means the same thing. Also, it leaves further symbols available should you ever want to use one to mean something else. Out of the three, my favourite is '+'. '-' looks like you're removing something and '***' looks like a comment at first glance. Another character that would be idea is '@' which Python and Java use but, if your implementation is based on operators, I guess that one isn't possible. Alex
