Initial Comment:
It would be extremely helpful if RSpec's output would include a snippet of the code that caused a spec to fail. Example:

1)
Spec::Expectations::ExpectationNotMetError in 'A stack (in general) should remove the top item when sent 'pop''
"b" should equal "d"

28.  specify "should remove the top item when sent 'pop'" do
29.    @stack.pop.should_equal "c"
30.    @stack.pop.should_equal "d"
31.  end

C:\dev\applications\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\rspec-0.6.4\examples\stack_spec.rb:30:in `should remove the top item whe
n sent 'pop''

It would also be nice if the formatting of the snippet could be pluggable so that we could have it syntax highlighted in the HTML reports.
