Mocha has an any_instance method that does this and flexmock has a new_instances method that does the same.
I tried patching the rspec mocking framework to do this and got it working for new instances, but I couldn't get it working with passing arguments to the initialize method. That and the internals of the rspec mocking framework scare the bejeesus out of me. So I just use mocha for mocking and call it a day.
