I don't know how the plain text stories are parsed, but would it be
reasonable to expect that if they are "plain text" rather than ruby,
then lower case 'and' could be used interchangeably? Is
consistency really required here? I'm thinking I would like other
people writing stories for me in the future, and this seems like it
would just be another PITA thing to fix after receiving stories from
them.. And at the moment if not fixed, they'll just be silently
ignored (v1.1.3) - which seems baaad.
Agreed that silent ignorance (tm) is bad but before we address this
there are a few other issues that we need to adress first. Formal
means of identifying commentary and multiline text to name two.
Please feel free to put a ticket in at http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com
if you want to ensure this stays ok the radar.

Additionally, 'when' and 'then' are Ruby keywords. This is the reason
that all the methods are uppercase in Ruby, and they are the same in
plain text for consistency.
