Least Significant Bit

When writing expectations on pages I like to keep them loose so they break less. I normally use the have_text matcher and I can even get looser using regexps matching but even that can break due to line breaks introduced by rendering. This is what it should be in a perfect world:

RSpec is a lot about readability. And its matchers are really a joy to aid you on that. And now it is even easier to add simple matchers for (in David’s own words) you to create your own custom matchers in just a few lines of code when you don’t need all the power of a completely custom matcher object.

I happen to need to make expectations about a created user on a complex step, so when the chunk started to repeat I make myself an RSpec matcher to do that, and then load it into cucumber to be able to use it in my steps.
