context(*args, &example_group_block)

Alias for describe

describe(*args, &example_group_block)

Makes the describe/it syntax available from a class. For example:

        describe Stack, "with no elements"

        before
          @stack = Stack.new
        end

        it "should raise on pop" do
          lambda{ @stack.pop }.should raise_error
        end
      end
