What I'd like to do is create a shared_examples group which I can parametize
a method. So my shared example would perhaps use method named_address=, or
set_named_address and then groups that behave like "Named address" would be
able to override this method so it sets the correct address e.g. the last
billing address
Here's the short version: There's been a lot of discussion on this
list about parameterizing shared examples. Basically, given the
current design it can't happen, and macros are a perfectly good
solution to the problem, so there's not much incentive to change the
design.
I'll try to follow up later with a recommendation about a macro,
unless somebody else beats me to it :)
I beat David to it. :) Here are some options:

I think I like #7 and #8 the best with the eval and #subject use. With
#8 I intentionally modify the backtrace so that the when errors happen
it points to where the macro was called, not defined. Sometimes this is
desirable, YMMV. FWIW, I question the value of such specs... but that
is the macro approach.
