  Description     : Assertive is a terse yet expressive assertion library,
designed and ideally suited for coffee-script

 Assertive aims to make the exact cause of breakage and intent of tests as fast
 and easy to spot as possible, with much attention paid to both the colour and
 alignment of expected and actual data, so you should be able to glean what you
 need immediately.
 .
 It also tries to pre-empt false negative tests from ever happening, by
 rigorously testing for correct assertion invocation and by avoiding to pick
 names for assertions with a track record of being misinterpreted, not just by
 people reading the code, but also by programmers writing them.
 .
 Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.

Node-assertive is required by node-cson-parser and will be maintained within
the Debian Javascript Team.
