How to write MiniTest::Spec expectations

I'm a fan of MiniTest::Spec. It strikes a nice balance between the simplicity of TestUnit and the readable syntax of RSpec. When I first switched from RSpec to MiniTest::Spec, one thing I was worried I would miss was the ability to add matchers. (A note in terminology: "matchers" in MiniTest::Spec refer to something completely different than "matchers" in RSpec. I won't get into it, but from now on, let's use the proper term: "expectations").

Understanding MiniTest::Expectations

Let's take a look in the code (I'm specifically referring to the gem, not the standard library that's built into Ruby 1.9):

# minitest/spec.rb

module MiniTest::Expectations

More technical details about the discussion at last nights meetup
# Just wanted to clarify my points at the meetup last night.
#
# There were two different issues intertwined:
# (1) Whether to use extend or "include as extend"
# (2) When using "include as extend", what is the simplest way to achieve the goal?
#
# My personal opinion is that the answer to (1) is "extend", not "include as extend", but that
# is just my personal opinion. My answer to (2) is a more empirical question.
# Using the "extend" approach. Again, I personally prefer the simplicity of this approach, but

Handle back button issues with Twitter Bootstrap's tab component.
// Handle back button issues with Twitter Bootstrap's tab component.
// Based on: http://stackoverflow.com/a/10120221/81769
// It has been changed to avoid the following side effects:
// - Switching tabs was being added to navigation history which is undesirable
// (Worked around this by using location.replace instead of setting the hash property)
// - Browser scroll position was lost due to fragment navigation
// (Worked around this by converting #id values to #!id values before navigating.)
