Feature suggestion: straight strings

Sorry if I mentioned this one before, but has anyone proposed being able
to do something like

"it should be able".to {

}

? (or something like that)…

Might be preferable where a test description doesn’t start with “it”
Thoughts?
Thanks.

I think ending in “to” is just as constraining as starting with “it”,
no?

Thoughts?

“it” and “specify” are both aliases for “example”, so you can say:

describe “foo” do
example “doing something or other” do

end
end

HTH,

Probably one could argue that in a spec environment what I am about to

is not the responsibility of a String to describe an example.
This theoretical observation apart, I find the idea rather appealing.
Anyway I am not qualified to vote or judge, just wanted to share these
thoughts.

The 1,000,000th fibonacci number contains ‘42’ 2039 times; that is
almost 30 occurrences more than expected (208988 digits).
N.B. The 42nd fibonacci number does not contain ‘1000000’ that is
almost the expected 3.0e-06 times.
