mocha-sugar-free

Write mocha test cases without using globals or this. Browserify compatible. Mocha without the sugar.

15        context.timeout(5); // should timeout after 5ms

Test cases that use mocha-sugar-free are run in the same way as normal mocha test cases, you can even mix them. You can not use mocha-sugar-free standalone, you should run your test cases using mocha foo.js (not node foo.js)
