rspec users - Mar 2008 - Warning: integrate_views and nested description groups

describe MyController do
  integrate_views
  describe "A common base senario" do
    it "no longer integrates views" do
      be_careful
   end
  end
end

integrate_views affects an attribute in the class formed by the describe
factory method.  The second describe generates its own class, so
integrate_views is OFF at that level.  I''ve already spent far, far too
much
time tracking this one down to verify that sub-describes at the same level
independently integrate_views (I expect that they should).

This might be a candidate for additional documentation.

I took the liberty of forwarding this to a ticket at lighthouse:

http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/5645/tickets/335

I''m not sure that this is buggy behavior, which is why I did not post
it over
there.  The question is if integrate_views should be a heritable trait or
not.  If it is, then we almost certainly need to be able to override it--and
as a convenience method, to be able to do so locally.  Implementing such a
scheme would involve a four-state @integrate_views -- heritably_no
(default), heritably_yes, heritably_yes_but_no_this_once, and
heritably_no_but_yes_this_once (current effect of calling integrate_views). 
Speaking of convenience, it would be nice to be able to set the value
globally.  And a pony.

Thanks
