Thanks!
I know it's not RSpec specific. I suppose my motivation is I want to keep the
number of tools / gems we have to mention in the book to a minimum. Since we're
already using RSpec in the book already it made sense to me if it became part
of the RSpec assertion toolkit. I'd have thought it would be useful to other
RSpec users too.
I've never used Wrong, only read about it--and I like the idea very much, I
must say. Is there any danger of adverse effects (other than an extra line the
Gemfile) if we have to use the Wrong RSpec adapter in the book alongside the
existing vanilla RSpec assertions?
