Ah, good point.  I had less cryptic announcements for the first two releases
but posted them to the list from a different email address, where they fell
into a black hole, and never reached the list.

Much, much more context (no RSpec knowledge assumed) at the website:

  https://github.com/gvvaughan/specl  (scroll down for README contents)

Specl is somewhat like Busted or Telescope in it's approach, but uses the
(IMHO) much more readable YAML format (with embedded Lua snippets) for its
specification files.

Wikipedia is quite comprehensive at explaining BDD:

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavior_Driven_Development

Essentially, Specl is to Lua as RSpec is to Ruby.
