Type context of spec and assertion functions

[demurgos]

Mocha sets the value of the this variable for the functions passed to describe and test/it.
This allows to dynamically configure the behaviour of the tests (skip tests, define timeout, ...)

Their website mentions the following methods:

• this.skip
• this.retries
• this.slow
• this.timeout

I wasn't able to find a "structured" API documentation. There are more methods available when checking the source code, but supporting only the documented methods would be a good start.

I would like to see a generic overload like this

it<C extends object>(this: C & TestContext, ...)

to be able to type the test context that is expected
