   # RSpec::Matchers provides a number of useful matchers we use to define

+  # ### Making custom matchers composable
+  #
+  # RSpec's built-in matchers are designed to be composed, in expressions like:
+  #
+  #     expect(["barn", 2.45]).to contain_exactly(
+  #       a_value_within(0.1).of(2.5),
+  #       a_string_starting_with("bar")
+  #     )
+  #
+  # Custom matchers can easily participate in composed matcher expressions like these.
+  # Include {RSpec::Matchers::Composable} in your custom matcher to make it support
+  # being composed (matchers defined using the DSL have this included automatically).
+  # Within your matcher's `matches?` method (or the `match` block, if using the DSL),
+  # use `values_match?(expected, actual)` rather than `expected == actual`.
+  # Under the covers, `values_match?` is able to match arbitrary
+  # nested data structures containing a mix of both matchers and non-matcher objects.
+  # It uses `===` and `==` to perform the matching, considering the values to
+  # match if either returns `true`. The `Composable` mixin also provides some helper
+  # methods for surfacing the matcher descriptions within your matcher's description
+  # or failure messages.
+  #
+  # RSpec's built-in matchers each have a number of aliases that rephrase the matcher
+  # from a verb phrase (such as `be_within`) to a noun phrase (such as `a_value_within`),
+  # which reads better when the matcher is passed as an argument in a composed matcher
+  # expressions, and also uses the noun-phrase wording in the matcher's `description`,
+  # for readable failure messages. You can alias your custom matchers in similar fashion
+  # using {RSpec::Matchers.alias_matcher}.
