rspec users - Dec 2009 - What does as_null_object do?

So I''m going through the rspec book right now, and get to page 72, as
it
introduces Spec::Mocks::Methods#as_null_object . In the book, it
doesn''t
describe how it operates, or much detail about it other than it tells to
expect certain data, and ignore the rest.

ri Spec::Mocks::Methods#as_null_object simply states "no
definition".???

So, does anyone else have some more info on this? What is it, what''s
it''s total useage? what can I cook with it? Can I bbq it? What exactly?

Just added that so you''ll be able to get that definition from ri after
the
next release.
