No problem, I understand it’s not the most reliable thing that can be tested for.

Sorry about this @jacobwarduk but similar to https://github.com/JamieMason/Jasmine-Matchers/issues/38#issuecomment-274784848, I’ve decided not to include this matcher (even though I created the issue in the first place).

Knowing more about it now, I worry there could be too many edge cases and because people depend on this library for their tests, I want it to be totally dependable so people can have confidence in it and their tests. This matcher might be a little risky.

Thanks a lot for your work on this Jacob, sorry to have wasted your time.
