That's helpful really. I am going through the Relish doco page by page. So 
still couldn't reach to the page you linked. :-) But I got it clear. It seems, 
I can change these 2 methods interchangeably. No difference in their use. Both 
will run happily :-

RSpec.describe "allow_any_instance_of" do
  context "with receive_messages" do
    it "stubs multiple methods" do
      allow_any_instance_of(Object).to receive_messages(:foo => 'foo', :bar => 
'bar')

      o = Object.new
      expect(o.foo).to eq('foo')
      expect(o.bar).to eq('bar')
    end
  end
end

and

RSpec.describe "allow_any_instance_of" do
  context "with receive_messages" do
    it "stubs multiple methods" do
      expect_any_instance_of(Object).to receive_messages(:foo => 'foo', :bar 
=> 'bar')

      o = Object.new
      expect(o.foo).to eq('foo')
      expect(o.bar).to eq('bar')
    end
  end
end

Only difference remains on people, who like  allow_*, will use this, who don't 
like it, will use expect_* ... :-)

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, 
if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not 
smart enough to debug it.
