Could you give some examples of your preferred syntax and why
it doesn't work?
`foo.should == "bar";` works. Nothing else does (and in fact in
retrospect it's surprising that == does) because they do nothing
by themselves. `foo.should != bar` is the same as `!(foo ==
bar)`, which on a statement by itself is nonsensical and rejected
by the compiler with "has no effect in expression" error. You
could write something like `if(foo.should != "bar") {}` and that
compiles fine but it's super hacky and ugly.
