[mocha-developer] expects with returns that returns the return value of the actual method

[Steve Eichert]

In my specific example I want to use the real result because the real result
being used is already a "fake" object that is returning canned results
depending on the inputs.  I'm trying to test some logic that's making use of
active_merchant, and am using their "bogus" gateway that returns
success/failures depending on predefined input.  I can definitely go the
route you mentioned and record a sample result, I was just hoping I could
re-use the already implemented logic.  I actually think that breaking my
tests apart to test more specific things per test will help as well.

Thanks,
Steve
