recorder = monkeypatch.function(".......")
-------------------------------------------------------------
tags: nice feature
Like monkeypatch.replace but sets a mock-like call recorder:
recorder = monkeypatch.function("os.path.abspath")
recorder.set_return("/hello")
os.path.abspath("hello")
call, = recorder.calls
assert call.args.path == "hello"
assert call.returned == "/hello"
...
Unlike mock, "args.path" acts on the parsed auto-spec'ed ``os.path.abspath``
so it's independent from if the client side called "os.path.abspath(path=...)"
or "os.path.abspath('positional')".
