Actually the error was rather clear - I just wasn't expecting it to happen over night (literally). But then again, that's running on trunk for you! (I'll make sure to check the CHANGELOG nextime). On the same topic - has the following been deprecated? it do .. end ? Wouldn't double example names creed up pretty quickly with this sort of syntax? This actually helped me clear out a few duplicate examples that I had going on.
