Description

It would awesome to have a functionality similar to the ExUnit tags. Especially for the suppression of the logs generated in the tests.

@tag :capture_log
it "should forward the error result and stop" do
  #...
do

It would be useful for cases like this one, where ran three tests successfully but the first one is showing a ugly log.

** (RuntimeError) crash_test
    spec/orders_service/fsm/recipient_spec.exs:683: anonymous fn/0 in (....)
..

This functionality already exists and is not documented correctly? or could be added in a near future? A function capture_log already exists, but the purpose is different.
