Subject: Snippet - assert_yin_yang

Rubies:

This is a Rails assertion, but any project could use its concept.

It asserts that a Model value is one state before a block, and another 
state after:

   def assert_yin_yang(object, method, yin, yang, diagnostic = nil)
     message = build_message(diagnostic, "<?>#<?>", object, method)
     assert_equal yin, object.send(method), message
     yield
     object.reload
     assert_equal yang, object.send(method), message
   end

Detect something switched from false to true like this:

     helmet = shrew.accessories.first

     assert_yin_yang helmet, :active, false, true do
       post :use, :id => helmet.id
     end

Any tips welcome regarding making this more yin-yang-ey!
