**Features:**
- Introduced new **command option** `length` which cues Cypress into not resolving matched elements until their length matches the option provided.
**Bugfixes:**
- `cy.respond` will not resolve until all of the queue'd XHR's have resolved.
**Misc:**
- Cypress now throws on [.should()](https://on.cypress.io/should) if any DOM member isn't in the DOM, except for `exist` assertions.
- Cypress now throws on `eventually.have.length` assertions. Use implicit `{length: n}` command options instead.
- Cypress overrides chai `exist` assertion to really mean: "does this subject exist in the document?"
