Let's paint this bikeshed!
I tend to like "must" instead of "should"; it's a bit shorter and stronger.
I tend to like dot-separated English for testing, e.g.
throwRangeError.must.throw!RangeError;
One advantage is that the dot after "must" (or "should") can trigger
code completion on IDEs.
Finally, I wonder if it's possible to hijack operator overloading to
support this:
2.timesTwo.must == 4;
