"restartPrank" Helper

[brockelmore]

This likely should be moved to https://github.com/foundry-rs/forge-std as a helper function if I understand your need correctly. See things like hoax:

forge-std/src/Test.sol

Lines 32 to 35 in 5927f70

	function hoax(address who) public {
	vm.deal(who, 1 << 128);
	vm.prank(who);
	}

Forge-std is designed to be helpers to improve UX

@PaulRBerg can you describe the best UX here?

Something like:

    function changePrank(address who) internal {
        vm.stopPrank();
        vm.startPrank(who);
    }

maybe? Usage would be:

    function testF() public {
        vm.startPrank(myNormalPranker);
        do.stuff();
        changePrank(bob);
        do.stuffAsBob();
        changePrank(myNormalPranker);
        do.stuff();
    }

@brockelmore your example captures exactly what I had in mind.

But I do want to note that I would expect changePrank to function like startPrank - that is, it would persist for all subsequent calls.

@brockelmore @ZeroEkkusu anyone working on this, can I take a stab at it?

Seems straightforward.

I agree w @brockelmore. Let me move the issue to Forge Std

Edit: Ok, I can't move it to Forge Std for some reason, guess I don't have the necessary perms. @brockelmore can you try?
