Is this any_instance thing in the rspec mocking framework now? I vaguely remember wanting this a few weeks ago and it was only in mocha or another of the competing mocking frameworks.

No, it isn't. Most consider it a code smell, which is why it hasn't been high on the priority list.

I submitted a patch a while back for this (see: http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/5645/tickets/28-6791-stub-return-values-for-all-instances-of-a-class#ticket-28-5) , which wasn't accepted into core for asthetic reasons. Feel free to revise it ;)
