This reads nicely. What is the class of the value answered by #should? What can you do with it?
It returns ShouldExpression instance which wraps receiver to execute following messages. And following messages are supposed to execute some assertions under receiver. For example it can be "1 should be: 2". Or in case with block: "[1/0] should raise: ZeroDivide"
Personally I would rename ShouldExpression to ExecutedBlock or ExecutedExpression, keep #should as nice syntactic sugar, but provide #executed as the standard way of creating ExecutedExpressions. After all this is useful for more than SUnit.
And for message sends verification I tried to find something similar.
For example, assuming it is a record of the execution of the receiver, you could use
[mock someMessage. mock2 someMessage2] executed completely [mock someMessage. mock2 someMessage2] executed completelyInOrder
and then #executed is meaningful, whereas #should is merely a linguistic hack.
And of course one could use #executes, but I think #executed is better; it has the sense of
[mock someMessage. mock2 someMessage2] when executed, #executes completely
