Also, will be nice if in the future you and other mock frameworks authors
support some kind of reflection on defined doubles (or even better, I can
define an "Aidmock support guideline" to you implement support by
yourselves). If you take a look at current RSpec Mocks driver on Aidmock[1]
you will see that I need to use a lot of "instance_variable_get" to
accomplish the work, and it has a serious risk to broke in any rspec-mocks
update...

WDYT?
