we force the specification to be isolated if it's not sequential or already isolated. this is important because when an example runs, its results are being stored into a shared list

This method could be overriden to filter the captured results and remove the skipped results for example
This trait can be mixed-in a specification to allow examples to have all of their expectations being evaluated (unless the example body throws an exception of course).
All the results are collected into a list, provided by the StoredExpectations trait. These results form then the body of the each example (decorated by a special ExampleFactory) so that each example returns a Result which is the summary of all the individual issues.
It must be noted that this trait relies on a mutable list to collect the results as they are created in the example body. Because of this restriction, a Specification using that trait can either run sequentially or isolated.
If the specification is neither sequential or isolated, we force it to be isolated by default.
