To move onto the next 'should' requirement in the spec, you must
explicitly call 'done' (or 'resume'). This means each 'should' will
effectively wait until all callbacks have been triggered and
associated assertions have been made, making it much easier to test
asynchronous code.

To achieve this, EM.describe wraps the block in a Fiber (with a simple
Thread based compatibility layer for Fibers on 1.8: http://gist.github.com/4631),
and calls Fiber.yield at the end of each 'should'. When you call
'done', it simply resumes the Fiber and continues on to the next
requirement.
