 The `toHaveStyleRule` matcher is useful to test if a given rule is applied to a component.
 The first argument is the expected property, the second is the expected value which can be a String, RegExp, Jest asymmetric matcher or `undefined`.
+When used with a negated ".not" modifier the second argument is optional and can be omitted.
