Subject: rSpec - added a "either.or.or" Matcher

Hey there guys,
not sure where I should discuss this really,
but I've created a ticket on LightHouse for rSpec.

Came across this problem;

"I have a method which either returns an array or a nil, how can I rspec
assert this?"

solution could be

[NilClass, Array].should include(Model.get_array_or_nil)

but that's rubbish.
I want;

Model.get_array_or_nil.should
either(be_an_instance_of(Array)).or(be_nil)

http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/5645-rspec/tickets/410-adding-an-either-or-matcher
should provide that.
(although it's built against the old svn repo, need to update it for
GIT)

Any thoughts?

MatthewRudy
