Two problems I've encountered relating to the name of this package:

1.) I easily overlooked that the function name didn't match the package so incorrectly attempted installing with `npm install expect` which is actually a different package. Once I got the correct package, I still tripped over having to assign the function to a variable with a different name in order to execute.

2.) I can't use the --require option of mocha with expect.js because the function name needs to match the package.

Proposal: Convince the author of 'expect' to relinquish the name to you. Their module appears to be unmaintained. A lesser alternative would be to rename to 'expectjs'.
