I was wrong. This also works:
```
it do
@test_hash["foobar"].size.should be 3
end
```
Looks like the error was due to the missing dot between size and should.
This test:
```
it do
should be 3
end
```
gives the same error:
```
1) HashBug Test fails
Failure/Error: should be 3
expected #<Fixnum:7> => 3
got #<String:70269524470620> => "Test fails"
Compared using equal?, which compares object identity,
but expected and actual are not the same object. Use
`expect(actual).to eq(expected)` if you don''t care about
object identity in this example.
# ./eg_rspec.rb:7:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>''
```
It seems to indicate that if `should` is not called on an object, it takes
the test description as the expected value - not entirely sure about this.
Will have to read the docs to confirm.

This syntax should work @test_hash["foobar"].size.should eq(1) But @test_hash["foobar"] evaluates to ["a","b","c"], so its size is actually 3.
