It also only works as long as that method keeps its name :) That method is explicitly :nodoc:'d which indicates that it is an internal method and therefore subject to change. Not saying I plan to change it, just that of now it is not a public API. That said, this thread suggests that we need a public API for resetting partial stubs like this. I'm thinking something more intention revealing like tear_down_rspec_stubs or something like that. Thoughts?
