trait NormalizingEquivalence[A] extends Equivalence[A]
An Equivalence[A] implementation that determines the equality of two objects by normalizing
one or both objects, then comparing the results using an “after normalization” Equivalence referenced from
the afterNormalizationEquivalence  member. By default, the afterNormalizationEquivalence is
an instance of Equivalence.default[A].
NormalizingEquivalence is returned by the Explicitly DSL's “after being”
syntax, using for the afterNormalizationEquivalence the implicit Equivalence in scope for the type
of Normalization passed to being. Here's an example:
scala> import org.scalactic._ import org.scalactic._ scala> import Explicitly._ import Explicitly._ scala> val lowerCased: Normalization[String] = StringNormalizations.lowerCased lowerCased: org.scalactic.Normalization[String] = lowerCased scala> after being lowerCased res0: org.scalactic.NormalizingEquivalence[String] = ComposedNormalizingEquivalence(Equality.default,lowerCased)
