    I had this problem. I tried something like (though not exactly w/
    this code):

    Foo stub new will: [ :aMessage |
       | original |
       original := MockExpectedOriginalCall new executeFor: aMessage.
       original stub.
       ^ original ]

    but IIRC it failed on doing #stub inside will: block.


So the arguments of block in message #will: are expected to be arguments
of stubbing message (not a full message instance).
We can introduce new kind of expected action to automatically stub any
result of message send:

    Foo stub new willStubRealResult.

Yeah, exactly, something like that is useful.

With help of new subclass of MockExpectedOriginalMethodCall:

    MockExpectedMethodResultStub>>executeFor: anOccurredMessage

        realMethodResult := super executeFor: anOccurredMessage.

        realMethodResult stub.

        ^realMethodResult.

    MockExpectedMessage>>willStubRealResult

        self will: MockExpectedMethodResultStub new

Actually I tried this path myself but it failed badly during doing the sub-#stub with lots of "go one metalevel down" etc. calls in stack, so I gave up with "I don't understand this to make it work atm".

Does your solution actually work?

And then you will be able specify expectations for all Foo instances:

    (Instance of: Foo) stub someMessage willReturn: #const

As in, would `Foo new someMessage should be: #const`? In that case, great and thanks.

And you will be able assert any message which was sent to Foo instances:

    (Instance of: Foo) should receive someRequiredMessage which should
    equal: #expectedValue

I committed this code to the dev branch. But I am wondering that such
kind of behaviour is really needed. Probably it is useful as you ask
about it.
