from the usecase of

self should:[some operation] raise: AnException description: ' a Text'

I would expect that the test asserter would compare ' a Text' with the description of the exception raised. But it does not happen. All this test cases succeed, even if the description is different from the actual exception message. Is this a bug or is the description text only used as a description for failing tests?

I would guess the latter, from other 'description' use in assertions.
