Document behavioral differences with fluentassertions #573

Description

@vbreuss
  1. When checking "contains at most" against null, it throws:

    string actual = null;
    // Does not throw with fluentassertions, but does with aweXpect
    Expect.That(actual).Contains(expectedSubstring).AtMost(1.Times());
    Expect.That(actual).Contains(expectedSubstring).LessThan(1.Times());
  2. All().Be does not mix type and instances (see AllBeAssignableTo behaving not like foreach BeAssignableTo fluentassertions/fluentassertions#1006)

    var collection = new object[] { typeof(int), 2, typeof(int) };
    collection.Should().AllBeAssignableTo<int>(); // Succeeds with fluentassertions
    await Expect.That(collection).All().Are<int>(); // Fails with aweXpect
  3. DateTime with different Kind is considered different in aweXpect

    var actual = new DateTime(2025, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Local);
    var expected = new DateTime(2025, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
    actual.Should().Be(expected); // Succeeds with fluentassertions
    await Expect.That(actual).IsEqualTo(expected); // Fails with aweXpect
  4. automatic flattening of AggregateException:

    Func<Task> act = () => throw new AggregateException(new ArgumentException("It is nested within an `AggregateException`"));
    act.Should().Throw<ArgumentException>(); // Succeeds with fluentassertions
    await Expect.That(act).Throws<ArgumentException>(); // Fails with aweXpect
  5. BeInRange for numbers throws an XUnitException instead of ArgumentException when minimum or maximum is NaN.
    Same for IsEqualTo("").AsWildcard() (which throws an ArgumentException on fluentassertions)
