One thing that would help with that is to allow structural pattern matching.
For example, say I have a function `foo` which returns a list '(a b c), but
all I care about is that `b` is `b`.  Then I could write:

    (shouldBe (foo) '(_ b _))

`shouldBe` then raises an exception if the pattern fails to match.
