If the first argument to describe() is a module it gets included in
the resulting example group. To avoid this, just make it a String:
describe 'MyHelperModule' do
...
end
In the next release there is a helper object you can use in your
helper examples:
describe HelperModule do
it "should describe something by default" do
helper.description.should == "something"
end
end
In some future release, that is the only way it will work as we will
no longer include the module in the example group. That might be a way
off though.
