            Description

            Provide an enum to allow story writers to write natural prose, while developers can enjoy getting booleans "for free".

            Quoting from the javadoc..

            Example of use. Given the following candidate step:

             @Given("a stock of symbol $symbol $withThreshold a threshold")
 public void aStock(String symbol, BooleanWord withThreshold) {
     stock = new Stock(symbol).withThreshold(withThreshold.toBoolean());
 }

            .. it is then possible to write the following scenarios:

             Scenario: a stock with threshold
 
 Given a stock of symbol AAA with a threshold
 When ..
 Then ..
 
 Scenario: a stock with no threshold
 
 Given a stock of symbol AAA without a threshold
 When ..
 Then ..

            Please note that this depends on JBEHAVE-1075.

            It would be nice if we could find an elegant way to internationalise the enum constants.
            One where there is only one enum constant for each boolean word, and the translations are kept in an external file. Any ideas?
