Additional methods in fluent syntax causes exception 'variable referenced from scope ... but it is not defined' #251
Description
System: Nunit test, resharper test runner, .Net 4.6, BDDfy version 4.1.2
Example code:
this.Given(x => x.GivenTheSiteCoverageService())
.And(x => x.GivenTheFirstAerialJobSite().WithCoverage(80m).OverSite(FirstSite))
....
Effectively, putting the additional methods "WithCoverage" and "OverSite" causes BDDFY to fail with exception:
An exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.Core.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: variable 'x' of type '' referenced from scope '', but it is not defined
Removing the fluent extensions I created for my types allows it to work.
But the alternative of complex unreadable constructors for all my permutations is wrong (shouldn't have to change the object under test). Is there a way to achieve what I'm trying to achieve here?

Sorry, stack trace would have been helpful:

I suspect the offending code is the fact that the
ExpressionExtensions.ArgumentExtractorVisitor.GetValue()method assumes aFunc<object>when in fact the first call in my method chain returns an object as well.I added another method onto the chain that returned the current TScenario, and then called yet another method from TScenario (which did nothing) and it now works. Having these two extra methods is a bit lame. Also it sees that last method in the call chain as the one doing the work so it pulls name information from that one, rather than the first one (no problem on that, can specify the string to show).

this should be addressed by #307 . If it does not , then please re-open it with good example that can explain setup and expectation better.
