Extension for auto naming parameters about behat HOT 2 CLOSED

In general we aren't going to make any gherkin syntax changes here - rather we are striving for more and more compatibility.

It might be one for https://github.com/cucumber/gherkin if we can do it in a language-agnostic way?

For anyone that comes across this, if you want to quickly remap your arguments to the word before (excluding "of"), here's an awk script:

/@(Given|When|Then)/ {
    str = $0
    while (str != "" && match(str, /(\S+)( of)? [^\w\s]?:(\S+)/, arr) > 0) {
        str = substr(str, RSTART + (RLENGTH ? RLENGTH : 1))
        k = n[arr[1]]++ ? arr[1] n[arr[1]] : arr[1]
        k = gensub(/(\s|-)(.)/, "_\\2", "g", k)
        k = gensub(/\W/, "", "g", k)
        a[k] = arr[3]
    }
}

/[:$]arg/ { for (key in a) { gsub(a[key], key) } }
/^    }/ { delete a; delete n } 1

It doesn't look for any special characters; it just takes the word beforehand. If you have multiple of the same you get a number: function some_example($price, $address, $address2, $price2, $the) // some might not make sense
