 Asserts the value of the given `future` satisfies the `matcher`. All API statements return a
 `future` object, which get a `value` assigned after they are executed. Matchers are defined using
 `angular.scenario.matcher`, and they use the value of futures to run the expectation. For example:
-`expect(browser().location().href()).toEqual('http://www.google.com')`
+`expect(browser().location().href()).toEqual('http://www.google.com')`. Available matchers
