+- assert_threads_result(expected)

+Passes if both conditions are true:
+
+1. The number of expected patterns matches the number of threads.
+2. Every pattern matches a thread name. Notice that the order of threads info is not guaranteed.
+
+Example:
+
+```
+assert_threads_result(
+  [
+    /\.rb:\d:in `<main>'/,
+    /\.rb:\d:in `block in foo'/
+  ]
+)
