Description
Originally reported on Google Code with ID 284
For supporting the idea of fine grained reporting out of specs (e.g. https://github.com/damage-control/report)
it would be very helpful when documentary texts after the block-labels could contain
placeholders
e.g.
def "Account can handle withdrawals"() {
given: "an account with balance of #oldBalance"
...
when: "withdrawing an amount of #withdrawal"
...
then: "the account should have a balance of #newBalance"
...
where:
oldBalance | withdrawal || newBalance
...
}

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the implementation and tests for documentary text after given/when/then labels, then trace how where-table values are exposed during reporting. Done means placeholders in those texts are replaced with the corresponding data-table values, as shown in the example.
