That page doesn't make clear to me: What consititudes a valid block of
each kind?

For example:

* Must the “Act block” be an assignment? Are other statements allowed?
  Are multiple statements allowed? What exactly will be *not* allowed as
  an Act block?

* What exactly constitutes a valid Assert block? What styles of
  assertion are recognised (pytest, nose, standard library `unittest`,
  others)? What constitutes an invalid Assert block?

I don't want to use GitHub, so I hope you'll be participating in this
forum where you asked for feedback :-)
