In your original post you asked:
"How would I go about adding support a scope expectation?"
Given the code you've shown it is not clear exactly what you are
expecting. Do you just want to be able to expect that you call
model_class.send(:with_scope) with the appropriate arguments?
I'm sorry if I seem dense, but you have a very clear idea of what you
want to accomplish, but it's coming out very piece meal across
multiple emails and it's quite difficult to pick up on,
