Awesome, that's exactly what I'm looking for! I guess I was confused with the examples on relishapp because I thought it would just print out "it behaves like Module" instead of printing out each individual example. One quick thing though... I couldn't use the constant MyModule with shared_examples and alias to it_should_behave_like. I had to change it to a string "MyModule" then everything worked. I'm using RSpec 2.6.4.
