This error message:


 it 'should' do
    proc { eval("a=")}.should raise_exception(/SyntaxError/)
 end

shouldn't that be
        raise_exception(SyntaxError)
that is, the exception class, not a Regexp literal to match its name.



     expected Exception with message matching /SyntaxError/, got
#<SyntaxError: (eval):1: syntax error, unexpected end-of-file>

Is a bit confusing, since it appears from the error output that it
*does* match /SyntaxError/

Might be able to word it better or along those lines.
Thanks!
