Add a way to yield different values in sequence

[domenic]

stub.yields is super-useful, since it finds the callback for you. But, if you wanted to yield different values in sequence, you're out of luck, and have to go back to manual stub-creation. And then you lose the magic callback-finding :(.

I'm thinking something like this?

var stub = sinon.stub();
stub.yieldsSequence([1], [2], [3]);

function tester(cb) {
    console.log(cb());
}

tester(stub); // => 1
tester(stub); // => 2
tester(stub); // => 3

Or maybe

var stub = sinon.stub();
stub.yields(1).thenYields(2),thenYields(3);

Not extremely beautiful... Could you use withArgs for this?

Could you use withArgs for this?

Sadly no; I'm trying to simulate failure-failure-success to test some retrying code. There's no distinguishing factors between the calls.

I see. I'll need to mull over the best naming for a little while. If you want to implement it I'm happy to merge once we find a good name for it :)

Sounds good, I'll probably work on it this weekend :)
