Done.

+ * not supplied, as a reason can be generated from the matcher.
+ *
+ * If the assertion fails, then the default behavior is to throw an
+ * [ExpectException], but this behavior can be changed by calling
+ * [configureExpectHandler] and providing an alternative handler that
+ * implements the [IFailureHandler] interface.
+ *
+ * [expect] allows an alternative call format, providing a Boolean
+ * predicate as the first argument and an optional reason as the
+ * second argument. This supports brevity at the expense of detailed
+ * error messages. For example, these are equivalent, but the first
+ * form will give a detailed error message, while the second form will
+ * just give a generic assertion failed message:
+ *
+ *     expect(foo, isLessThanOrEqual(bar));
+ *     expect(foo <= bar);
+ *
+ * expect() is a 3rd generation assertion mechanism, drawing
+ * inspiration from [Hamcrest] and Ladislav Thon's [dart-matchers]
+ * library.
+ *
+ * See [Hamcrest] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamcrest
