Maybe a better example would be in place.  Consider the following  
from the Autotest plugin:

Autotest.add_discovery do
   "rspec" if File.exist?('spec')
end

How would you go about testing this?

It's easy enough to test that Autotest receives the method  
add_discovery.  But how would you deal with the block?
