How to get "should.be.true" pass in jslint?

See original GitHub issue

I like to use the should syntax. But when I try myvalue.should.be.true, my JS file cannot pass jslint validation. Because true is a keyword. Any idea how can I get should syntax work with jslint?

@davidshen84 If you use JSHint instead of JSLint, you can specify the expr option to suppress this warning:

 /*jshint expr:true */
