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"

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
