Ok. I just read assert_raises is deprecated in 1.9 and will be
deleted in 2.0... I guess I was worried for the future and didn't
understand.
Is there extended documentation somewhere on this. The pickaxe
doesn't go into assert_raises/assert_throws.
I don't see it marked as deprecated in 1.9:
$ cat test.rb
require 'test/unit'
class T < Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_assert_raises
assert_raises RuntimeError do raise end
end
end
$ ruby -vw test.rb
ruby 1.8.3 (2005-06-17) [powerpc-darwin8.1.0] Loaded suite test Started

Then doesn't that just mean that we should be using assert_raise() instead?

I would expect this if it had really been deprecated:
$ ruby
require 'cgi-lib'
Warning:-:1: cgi-lib is deprecated after Ruby 1.8.1; use cgi instead

But the docs say it *will* be deprecated in 1.9, not it *is*
deprecated in 1.9, and 1.9 is not final yet. 
It wouldn't hurt to deprecate it soon, though.
