There is no direct support for comments _outside_ the documentation strings
passed to describe() and it(), but you could use a "here doc":
describe "truck" do
it(<<-DOCSTRING) do
NOTE: blah, blah, blah
should require model
DOCSTRING
...
end
end
I probably wouldn't do this as it trades off readability in the spec for
readability on the command line, but it would get you what you need.
