Summary: Underscored predicates don't work

Initial Comment:
The following fails:

class Bottle
  def contain_milk?
    true
  end
end

context "A new bottle" do
  specify "should contain milk" do
    Bottle.new.should_contain_milk
  end
end

It fails with:

NoMethodError in 'A new bottle should contain milk'
undefined method `contain?' for #<Bottle:0x2d41744>
./failing_examples\bottle_spec.rb:11:in `should contain milk'

Message:
Turns out that it depends on the form. The following works:

target.should_multi_word_predicate

but these fail:

target.should_be_multi_word_predicate
target.should_not_multi_word_predicate
target.should_not_be_multi_word_predicate

IIRC, this was working correctly at one point. I've added tests to ensure that it keeps working once I've gotten the fix (in progress).
