So this presents an interesting problem :) My intent some time back was to deprecate :shared => true, not share_examples_for (which is aliased with shared_examples_for). Based on that, the rspec.info site is correct and Pat is incorrect. However, Pat didn't know that because I never communicated it in any other way besides documenting the method on the site. Now as we're introducing rspec-2 to the mix, option hashes passed to describe and it will become much more common. On the grounds that it would simplify the API, it seems to me it might make more sense in rspec-2 to use :shared => true and get rid of these methods. Thoughts?
