When div.text == "after" before timeout of 2 seconds, then it passes
of course, but i guess you just typed it wrong here. What did you
envision then, could you explain, since it seems that i didn't fully
understand it either.

#should_not just waits the time of specified timeout and fails if the
should_not is not satisfied before... if it is satisfied before
timeout, then matcher succeeds.
For example:
h = {:special => true}
Thread.new {sleep 0.5; h.delete :special}
h.should_not have_key(:special).in(1)
h = {:special => true}
expect {
h.should_not have_key(:special).in(0.1)
}.to raise_error
Did i get it wrong in here and should these situations behave somehow
differently instead?
How is currently situations like these handled with RSpec or is
everything asynchronous specc-ed with using mocks?

I haven't planned to just release a gem with this minor extension.
Does it really make sense to introduce a completely new gem, which
just adds this functionality?
