+### `asyncMatchers`
+
+Allows specifying which matchers return promises, and so should be considered
+async when checking if an `expect` should be returned or awaited.
+
+By default, this has a list of all the async matchers provided by
+`jest-extended` (namely, `toResolve` and `toReject`).
+
 ### `minArgs` & `maxArgs`
 
 Enforces the minimum and maximum number of arguments that `expect` can take, and
