 Be aware that because of this behaviour, the following two statements are *not*
 equivalent, and you should *always* use the latter!

+The former would immediately fail because the content has not yet been removed.

+Capybara's Rspec matchers, however, are smart enough to handle either form.

-The former would incorrectly wait for the content to appear, since the
-asynchronous process has not yet removed the element from the page, it would
-therefore fail, even though the code might be working correctly. The latter
-correctly waits for the element to disappear from the page.

 Capybara's waiting behaviour is quite advanced, and can deal with situations
 such as the following line of code:
