Feature: yield matchers There are four related matchers that allow you to specify whether or not a method yields, how many times it yields, whether or not it yields with arguments, and what those arguments are. * `yield_control` matches if the method-under-test yields, regardless of whether or not arguments are yielded. * `yield_with_args` matches if the method-under-test yields with arguments. If arguments are provided to this matcher, it will only pass if the actual yielded arguments match the expected ones using `===` or `==`. * `yield_with_no_args` matches if the method-under-test yields with no arguments. * `yield_successive_args` is designed for iterators, and will match if the method-under-test yields the same number of times as arguments passed to this matcher, and all actual yielded arguments match the expected ones using `===` or `==`. Note: your expect block _must_ accept an argument that is then passed on to the method-under-test as a block. This acts as a "probe" that allows the matcher to detect whether or not your method yields, and, if so, how many times and what the yielded arguments are.
