Consider this (simplified) snippet. RSpec 3.1.7

RSpec.describe MyController, :type => :controller do

  describe "PUT #update" do

    before(:example) do
      puts self.class                          #=> 
RSpec::ExampleGroups::MyController::PUTUpdate
      puts self.class.example.description      #=> "example at 
./spec/controllers/my_controller_spec.rb:xxx"
      puts self.class.example.full_description #=> "MyController PUT update"
      puts example.description                 #=> undefined local variable 
or method 'example'

    end


    it "should update things" do
      puts self.class                          #=> 
RSpec::ExampleGroups::MyController::PUTUpdate
      puts self.class.example.description      #=> "example at 
./spec/controllers/my_controller_spec.rb:xxx"
      puts self.class.example.full_description #=> "MyController PUT update"
      puts example.description                 #=> undefined local variable 
or method 'example'
    end
  end
end


I'm seeing some odd results when getting the metadata and description 
values for examples. 

None of the Example instance methods work. Everything behaves as an 
ExampleGroup. I'm not sure if this is intended.

>From the rspec-core README https://github.com/rspec/rspec-core#metadata


it "does something" do 
  expect(example.metadata[:description]).to eq("does something") 
end

This does not work. Am I doing something wrong?
