-Array Matchers
-=====================================================
-
-The following matchers are designed to work with arrays:
-
-
-contain_match
------------------------------------------------------
-
-Check if an array contains at least one item that matches the regex:
-
-.. code-block:: ruby
-
-  describe ['lemon', 'ginger', 'grapes'] do
-    it { should contain_match /^gin/}
-  end
-  describe port(25) do
-    its('addresses') it { should_not contain_match /0\.0\.0\.0/}
-  end
-
-
-all_match
------------------------------------------------------
-
-Check if all items of an array match the regex:
-
-.. code-block:: ruby
-
-  describe ['grapefruit', 'grapes'] do
-    it { should all_match /^grape.+/}
-  end
-
-
-none_match
------------------------------------------------------
-
-Check if all items of an array match the regex:
-
-.. code-block:: ruby
-
-  describe ['ginger', 'grapefruit'] do
-    it { should none_match /^sugar$/}
-  end
-  describe port(25) do
-    its('addresses') it { should none_match /^0\.0\.0\.0$/ }
-  end
-
-
-contain_duplicates
------------------------------------------------------
-
-Check if an array contains duplicate items:
-
-.. code-block:: ruby
-
-  describe [80, 443, 80] do
-    it { should contain_duplicates }
-  end
-  describe ['ginger', 'grapefruit'] do
-    it { should_not contain_duplicates }
