I'm also thinking that maybe I'm doing something wrong when using this
approach, but cannot think of any better way. Do you have any
suggestions how to get rid of using self as a subject in my context?
Maybe i'm not aware of some best practices when it comes to using
helper methods. Should I monkey-patch Watir (or some other library) to
add methods to it like has_text? and so on in which case subject would
be $browser (which is actually correct)?

Thank you for this great tip! I think that this solution will satisfy
me.
