Hey Joe - I think this is really nice, but it's unlike any other
matchers/macros that ship with RSpec, so I don't feel it belongs in RSpec as it
stands today. If future versions move in a direction that better aligns with
this we can revisit.
That said, I think it's a nice clean DSL and recommend that you publish it as a
gem and share it with those who wish to use it.
In terms of improving it, the only thing I see missing is a way of specifying a
route that is not supported. Maybe something like:
get "/blog" => unroutable
WDYT?
