Yeah, I think it's a legitimate technique, as long as you don't get too carried 
away with it.

I use it, for example, for some code quality specs:

  Wincent::SOURCE_FILES.each do |file|
    describe file do
      it 'contains no trailing whitespace' do
        file.should_not have_trailing_whitespace
      end

      it 'contains no tabs' do
        file.should_not contain_tabs
      end

      it 'has a newline at the end' do
        file.should have_newline_at_end_of_file
      end
    end
  end

Cheers,
Wincent
