Cool. That makes sense. My current work around is to use: allow_any_instance_of(Exception).to receive(:my_custom_method_ive_added_to_exception).and_raise
Is there a better solution? Do you think it's possible to write an exception_double and exception_spy methods that build subclasses of Exception that support the double/spy methods directly, or is that unfeasible / a bad idea?
