my tests use just assert_* ... but the tested code sometimes exits
using Kernel#exit [well, now I raise SystemExit].

I have to add that after Nobu's remark I also tried to
assert_raises(SystemExit) while using Kernel#exit and it also
works well. The thing is that now I find "raise SystemExit" more
adequate[*].

Ref: [*]: eh, is this the correct word to convey following in English:
          "I like it better and the code seems more 'clear' to me when
          using raise"?
