Summary: stub return values for all instances of a class

Initial Comment:
I'd like to be able to do this:

SomeClass.stub_instance_method!(:method_name).and_return(specified_value)

(syntax just a suggestion)

This should set up a world in which all instances of SomeClass return specified_value for any calls to :method_name.

This differs from SomeClass.stub! in that it applies to instance methods rather than class methods.

Message:
I agree. I'm trying to stub a login_as method for controller specs that won't rely on the database. I'd like to have any instance of ApplicationController stub :current_user and return my mock user. But this doesn't seem possible with the current library. Mocha has the feature, so I may lean on it for the time being.
